I'm not so worried about that, because the core GNOME packages are small
enough that autobuilding isn't too painful for the stuff that's really
urgent, and I don't really want to encourage the war of escalation that
is setting everything to urgency=high. Naturally, it's up to the GNOME
maintainers what they want to do.
