How is this different from "I can't deliver?"

It blocks you up front in development, not at the end.

If a bug's fix's being crucial in delivery makes it a Blocker, then I'll have to change a dozen of my bug entries to Blocker.

I can't argue that this bug is not a blocker, only that (from my reading of the bugzilla definition) it is not a Blocker.

I don't mean to belittle the bug; I'm just being legalistic about the category Blocker. Even though it is highest in some sense, it also is different in quality in that it narrows the kind of bug. Examples might be "key doesn't work" or "can't open stack".

I didn't make up the definition, so I might be way off.
