We've been discussing this @FOSDEM too. My suggestion was that any bug that 
visibly hurts stable users should always be considered at least MAJOR in 
bugzilla. 

To expand on this a bit more
* a stable update that makes the computer nonfunctional is definitely BLOCKER 
(and should be reverted in CVS immediately when it becomes known, at latest 
when it is understood, by anyone who is around at the time and can do so)
* a non-functional stable package in the system set should be CRITICAL.

Just my 2ct, but it is really important not to hurt stable users. This is how 
we lose most people.
