To be fair, it's basically what I've been pretty regularly saying the policy
is. So some of the blame there rests with me. As I see it, open the door to
"critical" non-security bugs is a problem, because it puts us in the
situation of having to decide what's critical and what's not -- a more
subjective determination than "is this a security flaw".
