I don't disagree with the definition reportbug uses for critical, there are
just some nuances that aren't easy to express in a short description like
that.  Like, for instance, the fact that it's not a kernel bug alone which
causes dataloss, but a combination of a kernel bug together with a broken,
unsupported version of devmapper.
