Sorry, I disagree. Anything that leads to possible loss of data can be
release critical. It'd be just as false to say "tex is only used by
academians, a bug in it that deletes your thesis cannot be considered
release critical". Any way, there are 400 debian develpers, this bug can
affect a lot of people.
