I am being personally flamed, via email, because I was under the
mistaken view that a non-booting kernel is a "HIGH" and "CRITICAL"
problem. I am a user, not a developer, so I just went by what the
descriptions in send-pr, and the man page, told me to do.

The problem, I have later found, only affects certain Asus motherboards.
Since I only have one machine running current at this time, I was
unaware that other people didn't have the same problem. I've seen such
problems not get reported (people use older kernels, etc), so I just
took the intiative to send a pr. And now I see why I shouldn't, I get
email telling me that unless my machine is "hacked" or "went up in
flames" I shouldn't use "CRITICAL" as the problem level.

I suppose I'll just quit sending prs and just hope Greg Woods doesn't
respond to this email.
