How to determine bug severity level?

I wouldn't care much, and leave it at normal. The  Rev team will change 
the severity, or any other field in the database, to something they 
think is right, completely ignoring any objections you might have. I'm 
sure that simplifies handling bugs for them, but might make you less 
likely to like them. Obviously they got their priorities set.

Have fun
