Well, if you have a machine that used to boot, and no longer does because of
a change in the OS, HIGH/CRITICAL is probably OK.

Greg Woods isn't more than a NetBSD user. If you got flammed by him, we
(NetBSD developers) can't do much about this, and what he says isn't
necesserely right (not to say what NetBSD developers says is
always right either :)

Please keep sending PRs when you notice problems, it's almost the only way to
get them corrected.
