To help with prioritization of issues I've added a new custom field
to stdcxx issues in Jira, called Severity, with the following values
in the order of decreasing severity:

1. Runtime Error (e.g., crash including abort, deadlock or livelock,
   and certain cases of data corruption such as buffer overruns and
   other types of undefined behavior that could potentially lead to
   crashes).
2. Binary Incompatibility (e.g., errors at load time due to
   unsatisfied references to symbols that have changed or been
   removed, or undefined behavior as a result of incompatible
   changes).
3. Incorrect Behavior (i.e., any otherwise well-defined behavior
   that's different from the documented behavior).
4. Compiler Error (i.e., a compilation diagnostic including internal
   compiler errors).
5. Linker Error (same as above but for the linker).
6. Inefficiency (including speed or space inefficiencies).
7. Compiler Warning.
8. Linker Warning.

Are there any suggestions for new values or changes to the ones I've
added, or to the assigned priorities?

Martin
