If you consider yourself not a novice (the reportbug default mode, where
critical is _not_ announced), you are supposed to know a bit about it.

Where is this from? The official definition[1] is:
| makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or
| causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where
| you install the package.

Neither is the kernel unrelated to any other package (it is an implicit
dependency in any of them) nor does it cause data loss, nor does it
introduce a security hole.

Okay, it uses earlyprom0. But I don't see the console handover, that
should have done before the cgroup init.
