Simplistic things don't make a lot of users ask for support, file bugs,
etc...; so, it is less simple to users than what you might infer.

UPower is a dependency of a lot of desktop enviroments; besides that,
I still believe that the majority of users don't run systemd. This
makes a blocker like this so wide scale that it at least becomes
important, as it is used much more compared to the CDDA reader example.

Now what makes the difference between important and critical is the
potential to become disastrous; this is where it becomes harder to
judge how critical it is, but at the very least it affects a large
share of users now as well as in future upgrades. They appreciate news.
