Comment 2 for bug 749563

maybe my use cases are untypical ...

the same way I add a specific tag as the result of grepping the build log, I could set a severity (a test rebuild with GCC-4.6 resulting in errors that need to be fixed, and some which should be fixed (like specific compiler warnings). But again, maybe a separate tool like scanning bug reports for a tag and then re-setting the severity would do the same stuff.
