britney should be fixed to behave according to policy, not the other
way round:
§5.6.17 Urgency
This is a description of how important it is to upgrade to this version
from previous ones. It consists of a single keyword taking one of the
values low, medium, high, emergency, or critical[36] (not
case-sensitive) followed by an optional commentary (separated by a
space) which is usually in parentheses.
