That's actually exactly correct -- ship criteria are not based directly on
quality measurements, but on a massaged version of them.  A bug could be
extremely severe, but have such limited impact that we decide it's not
worth holding the release back for, and we can guide the customers who will
have this problem.  On the flip side, a bug could be reasonably limited in
the damage it can do, but be so annoying to a lot of customers that we
decide it really needs to be fixed because it'll result in many customer
calls.  So these are really business decisions.

We don't have that many P1 bugs, period -- they're reserved for "drop
everything, stop the build" bugs, and those tend to get cleared out pretty
quickly.
