Thanks for the feedback.

My rationale, if you must know, is that if this is an important issue,
then the people who consider it an important issue will ofcourse work on
getting it fixed.

There's nothing in debian policy (the document who defines the severity
levels for the bug tracking system) that says 'If you raise the severity
of a bug report then "someone else"<tm> has to do the work for you'.

Scratch your own itch.

The previously provided suggestion that this might lead to data loss is
a bit far fetched if you ask me. Let a monkey hammer on your keyboard
long enough and he'll eventually manage to  do 'rm -rf ~' which doesn't
necessarily imply that all terminal emulators must be removed from
Debian. In other words, anything can be described as 'data loss' if your
imagination is good enough.
