Yes, that's a good point. Currently, there are several places where the type is used in that code: * We gather statistics for QA purposes that includes a count of errors and warnings (separately) for each package. * There are two views of the maintainer page, one of which showing all of the tags and the other only showing errors and warnings. When you change the representation of tag severities, there are a lot of little things like that which will need tweaking. Another is the colorization of tags, which currently is done only based on the E/W/I status. It would be particularly cool to support using JavaScript or something similar to selectively hide and show tags from different sources, certanties, or severities, but that verges on a whole additional project. :) > Thanks for your comments, they are really appreciated.
