Critical generally means data loss, security issues, or upgrade impacts, 
i.e. does a bug cause data loss or prevent upgrades to a given release?

Latent known issues are generally not considered critical bug fixes, 
especially if they are large and complicated which means they are prone 
to introduce regressions.
