Thomas Ward:
How would a user know what a critical bug is?
Instead of asking to report critical bugs, you can ask "if the bug
causes data corruption or renders the system temporally or permanently
unusable, please warn about it to the Bug Control team".
Thomas Ward:
> why would they need to email bug control?
So the team can set importance early, instead these bugs remain
unnoticed in a pool of reports.
Thomas Ward:
> And where in the documentation would you put this?
On <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs>.

There are only 47 known critical bugs for all the supported releases,
and only 14 affecting Utopic.
Probably the Bug Control team would be receiving less than 10 emails for
every circle of 6 months.
Thomas Ward:
> Mind explaining how you came up with this suggestion/idea?
Because I noticed many critical bugs only get marked as such after a
long time has passed.
Charles Profit:
> What would make this any different than a normal bug report?
Nearly no critical bug would go unnoticed into releases, and broken
systems would be unusable for the shortest period of time.
