RE: [sv-bc] Issue Review Buckets - Reviews due by April 10

I never implied that priority and severity are connected.

I just said that we had only defined the meaning of 'immediate' priority
and 'major' severity without defining the meaning of other values.

Regarding severity, we described 'major' severity as meaning a risk of
differing implementations, I think. That is not relevant for
enhancements.

Regarding clarifications, the question was first whether we should be
using that classification or not. Regarding your severities,
clarifications can also be major or minor, I think.
