Yep. Though to be clearer/more precise, its worth noting:

- The default Bugzilla field name is 'Severity', one of the two fields, the
other 'Priority', which together make up the 'Importance' field.

- Depending on the Labels used, 'Severity' is most often used to mean 'Impact'
(default values are like: Enhancement, Minor, Major, Blocker), but can also be
like 'Scope', like for our labels (Me, Some, Many)

Also:

'Severity' in other industries (say, medical triage) are basically used as a
proxy for 'Urgency', usually based on the notion of 'Impact', but can also
include things like is vital function affected' 'Is the issue/symptom
degrading', or 'has it / can it be stabilised'. Analogies in bug/issue triage
are things like: 'is a workaround available', 'is this a major/important
feature'

One 'todo' item is to improve the schema for Severity/Priority, to make it make
more sense and have obvious semantic meaning for zero-knowledge people (like
reporters). This is not an easy problem :) I'll add it the Roadmap document to
we can start to flesh it and options out more. Happy to soundboard stuff with
you if you're interested in this kind of stuff
