In catching up on this long discussion, this is the first post that I've seen that actually comes close to pin-pointing what is being requested.
Current: Severity = messure of bug impact on wine
Requested: Severity = message of bug impact on application running in wine
IMHO the bugzilla severity field is not the right place to measure impact to other applications of bugs in the current development. Attempting to track that type of information in the severity field will always lead to confusion and problems.
A more logical approach would be to either add a different field or use tags to track the impact on the affected app.
Again, bugzilla is a developer's tool.
That sort of information belongs in the AppDB, not bugzilla.
