Why does it have to have hard and objective terms ? Most reasonable
people can make a distinction between a beginner problem: ie. something
almost anyone can pickup and do as their very first commit ever, from
something that requires a little experience, from something that takes a
week of work [eg.] :-)

Is it the end of the world if we cannot ? :-)

A rough measure of Severity / Importance is not intrinsically useless
in my view for it's rough-ness. Not all ladders should have only two
rungs ;-) We could add a rough guideline (like the above) in a paragraph
to the wiki page easily enough if even that is needed.

How about avoiding the bikeshedding altogether & just restoring the
original(?) three-way categorisation of difficulty :-)

So - how does that magic bugzilla <-> wiki page generation thing work ?
is that documented somewhere ? I'm happy to do it if you hand-hold me -
though there is a risk that that takes longer.
ATB,
Michael.
