15 To be honest, I downgraded the severity on those bugs to turn off the
16 distracting red highlight in the bug listing as I was wrangling. You did
17 nothing wrong.

19 In my defense, if you take Gentoo Linux as a whole, problems with grip
20 and bzr rank very low compared with more critical system packages.

22 Anyway, if you have a problem with the way I treat your bugs, feel free
23 to call me out on it.
