We have no particularly convenient mechanism to declare a bug RC except
for raising it to a release-critical severity (and, honestly, what's the
point of the release-critical severities otherwise)? We can block
packages from testing, but it's awkward to do that routinely for single
bugs, and I wouldn't want to encourage that situation.
