This is a separate issue, which you do not seem to know about.
It's already been discussed that the severity of a bug is different than the
RCness of it. I have some faint idea of how to fix this in the bts, and I am

as the release is inniment(sp).

To which group are you attempting to have this analogy used against? Those
who were there first, or those doing the reinventing?
