Can anyone explain why do we need to change severity when closing bugs? This makes severity totally useless. We might as well reset all

I'm pretty sure that's not what Vitaliy meant. He's questioning why the person who closes the bug also changes the severity.
Correct that is exactly what I am asking. It seems that every time some one goes into a "frenzy" of touching big number of bugs at the same time, they are not available on the IRC, don't respond to e-mails. Nor did they discussed the matter on the wine-devel or any other communication channels.
My question is why change severity of the bug _after_ it was resolved?
Can we make a policy that whenever any one wants to do a wholesale change on Bugzilla discuss the matter with other people involved? So at least they will know what's going on and why.
