I think this argument is circular...Wine has no shortage of bugs being reported, we have plenty of new users reporting bugs, and new developers contributing often. You're proposing adding an extra severity rating that no developer will look at, and will only add to confusion (users now have to decide *two* levels rather than one). It won't add any benefit, other than possibly giving users a warm fuzzy feeling that their bug is 'important' to them (which they can already do with voting), but adds confusion, wasted time, and wasted effort.
Yes the voting! I had forgot about that! Actually that pretty much...lessens many of my previous arguments.
Well, turns the into moot, really.
I still think that the severity levels could be better with regards to UE though, but that seems less important now with the at least theorethical "me too"-power of voting.
Again, sorry for taking your time. Too bad nobody mentioned the voting earlier.
//Nicklas PS. I never proposed an extra severity flag, but to change it into something more intuitive for the user. I speculated that classification of bugs could be made anyway. DS.
