It appears that I need to underline again who is reponsible for setting the severity of bugs (and indeed, any control@ modifiable value.)
If you are not the maintainer, nor a release manager, you do not have the authority to override the severity that a maintainer has assigned a bug. If you are fighting with the maintainer's jugement by use of control, you are *always* in the wrong. Continuing to do so will result in [EMAIL PROTECTED] restricting your use of control. If you believe the maintainer has chosen the wrong severity, you have one remedy: convince a release manager (or tech ctte) that the proper severity is (or is not) RC. The release manager (or tech ctte) can then set the severity to a severity which is (or is not) RC. [The maintainer can still adjust the absolutely severity after such a point, so long as it remains RC (or not RC).] At the point at which you and the maintainer disagree, you will note that none of the further steps involve you altering the severity of a bug.
