That's what we did with sarge, if I remember well?
No. The "foo-ignore" tags mean "this issue /is/ RC, but we're ignoring it for the release of foo". Any bug tagged "etch-ignore" is by definition RC the moment etch is released. The exact definition of what qualifies for a severity of serious or above (i.e. RC) are the purview of the Release team, as noted at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities. A "severe violation of Debian policy" is one which violates the current release policy, as laid out by the Release team.
