Ah, sorry, yes. This is a good point that I neglected. The RC severity
discussion is perfectly fine if one is worried about impact on testing for
exactly the reasons you state.
That said, it's still not a good reason to try to get something into
Policy, or a good way of starting a Policy discussion. (Among other
things, it's not the role of Policy to determine RC severity. That's the
call of the release team, although they will certainly take existing
Policy consensus into account.) Policy is about figuring out what the
right thing to do is, but can't allocate resources, and is too slow to be
the place to control whether things migrate to testing.
