The sarge-ignore tag is for things which the release team has agreed are
conceptually release-critical but which we're deferring beyond sarge:
it's an easy way to indicate that the tag should no longer be in effect
post-sarge.
The important severity is for things which the release team hasn't
agreed should be release-critical at all. See my other recent mail to
this subthread. The three release-critical severities are in the domain
of the release team to define.
