Why is everyone so obsessed with demoting important/grave level bugs 
instead of fixing the problem?  So some buggy pacakges have dropped off 
the face of hamm, so what?  Sure we need these packages back; well stop 
panicking and start emailing some maintainers, offering help!

I think these bugs are severity 'important'.
