Is "super-critical" the official name or can we refer to some policy so 
this is predictable?  Frankly, something like this is needed so the 
non-developers or adventurous types don't have to be scared on every 
update like it is now.  On the other hand it's clear there's a few small 
holes.

I'm not sure how much work would go into this, but anything from [1] 
which affects any release should get an update.  Aside from that it just 
comes down to a customer easily being notified when there is an issue.  
(Which would probably be a new feature in IPS)

I hope I don't come across as rude since I know you guys are working 
hard and doing a good job.

Thanks
