--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- Hmm...
* I agree "Confirmed" or "Open" would be more accurate, but neither will stop users from complaining about bugs being open for years.
* There was a very long discussion about renaming the Version field on wine-devel several years ago. https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2014-February/102761.html
* The field is actually labeled Importance, not Severity, and IMO that's part of the problem; everyone thinks their bug is important. The second problem with that field, and what I think is the bigger problem, is bug 39009: if a user clicks on the Importance link to try to find out the meanings of the various choices, they end up in the wrong section on fields.html, and don't see the severity definitions at all, so even users who are trying to follow our directions, can't.
