I disagree. If a package causes a remote root exploit to be available, even if it's only in a very specific configuration, I would say that it is critical. Now how this applies to the other two grades, IMHO should be decided on a case by case basis. > What do other think, and have you seen seeing the same runaway bug severity > inflation I have? I've certainly seen an increase of release critical bugs recently. And I agree that sometimes they are rather overrated, but I don't think we should make any decisions that we might come to regret later just because of it. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 is out!
