yeah, this is the only time i set stuff as Blocker ... and afaik, the rest of 
the wranglers work pretty similarly to myself ...
i see Blocker as 'what prevents you from using Gentoo' ... if a package failed 
to compile but you can still boot Gentoo and stuff smoothly, it ain't a 
blocker ...

... but these are just things that developers can use to categorize 
themselves ... if, as a manager of your own bug reports, feel like something 
can be changed then go for it ... bugzilla is just a tool for you to manage 
bugs and you can do so with your own bugs as you see fit.
