That 5% is an interesting number. I think it's close to right, when you
look at all the bugs; most users get wishlist and normal severities
right, and I rarely get an incorrect important severity bug anymore.
However, when you look at the RC bugs, I've been keeping track for 2
or 3 months now of how many RC bugs I've gotten where it was not
inappropriate to immediatly issue a 'bts severity xxx normal' (and often
'bts tag xxx unreproducible'). Of quite a few RC bugs in that time
frame -- probably 20 or so -- there were just two where it was not
appropriate to do that, and both were filed by debian developers.
Maybe that 5% is coming entirely from the RC bug severities..

I hope.
