This is my primary concern and as long as we use e.g. the SECURITY
keyword, I'm happy. From #gentoo-dev:

[22:34:36] <@sam_> ago: I was wondering if I could just detect by blockers but 
I think SECURITY blocker is simpler and requires less code/handling overall, so 
WFM
[22:35:25] <@ago> yeah

I'm a _little_ bit unsure about the extra work of filing new bugs, but I suspect
It's going to be worth it because of less special casing for everybody involved
(and not having to explain why security bugs are different to newbies, 
proxied-maints,
...).

best,
sam
