People keep saying that, but it's not true [0]. "Release critical bugs" are those that are serious, grave or critical. "Bugs that will stop the release of that package" are "release critical bugs" that haven't been specifically exempted by the release manager. Exemptions only happen just before a release, and only happen on a discretionary basis, and don't last for a particularly long time. There may be subtle differences between the meanings of the various terms, but they are *very* strongly correlated, which is right at the other extreme from orthogonality.
