For the kernel, I'm tempted to just mass-clear all the severity tags,
because as I mentioned before you embarked on this project, they are
utterly meaningless.

Case in point: http://is.gd/1mTt5

Asides from making the buglist look so unreadable I can't read it
for more than a few minutes without getting irritated, a quick skim shows
the main problem. People think a suspend/resume failure is urgent.
Or that their DVD writer can't write discs. Or that their sound card
doesn't play sounds. Or just about anything imaginable.

That this field remains user settable makes it a complete disaster.
