Yes, those of us in Security do consider that a more serious problem than
the folks in Contents do.  

And I suppose there's a good argument that if you have all the appropriate
other security controls in place there's no need to flag it as a high
severity exception.  

We just have found no way to know whether you actually have all those other
controls in place.  If I remember correctly you need to protect several
(perhaps 8-10?) for other functions properly or you really can have a severe
exposure for the case that triggers that warning.
