The conclusion of our much-too-lengthy discussion on #frysk was *not* that you could just change the severity on this ticket at your whim. Perhaps frysk does not use 'critical' but I do. For your information, there is no rule to be found on the frysk bugzilla FAQ concerning not being allowed to use 'critical'. Until e.g. http://sourceware.org/frysk/bugzilla/index.html#faq states the rules you desire to dictate upon developers in how to use bugzilla, I would appreciate it if you would respect people's way of working with bugzilla. Bug 4585 is in my book a critical bug and given that it was reported by me, assigned to me, worked on by me, and resolved by me, I do believe I have the right (at this point in time) to make a decision about whether I consider this bug critical or not. If the develop community of this open project decides to outlaw the use of 'critical' in the future, you can always come back to change it. Cheers, Kris
