I can explain the criteria for each bug specifically, but I wouldn't
feel comfortable to do this generally.  One fundamental criterium,
however, is that the fix does not affect people who are not also
affected by the bug.  When the fix is also short and well localized,
and the bug is relatively severe (i.e., making Guile fail to compile
on a not-really-obscure platform), I'm tempted to make it release
critical.

But note that Rob is now the one to make the last call.  I didn't
really respect this previously, but I will in the future.
