Indeed, this is how I thought the severities were being used. Not in theory but in practice. Please don't worry about severities. I will try to be "nice" and will report them as "important", as there are a lot of affected packages. But will use some kind of usertags so that release managers are able to change severities easily. I would love to see this as a release goal for stretch, but I think it's soon to decide about that. Thanks.
