It will not be rejected but setting the urgency has little practical relevance these days. You could also upload with urgency=low or urgency=high and that would be the same in practice. > If not they exist so why shouldn't they be documented in devref? - because it will make people use them - because people always think their issues are critical - because using them will not have an effect - because people will then complain that they have no effect - because all of this is a waste of someones time. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ https://showyourstripes.info
