Besides, as Barry said, classifying a bug as blocker is also a good way to attract some attention on it. Other classifications, even "critical", don't have the same effect.
If done for the sole purpose of attracting attention, it's no different from spam. Opinions will differ about what is and is not a blocker, and I'm sure your sense is as conservative as the next guy's. But really, let's at least be in the grey zone; "attracting attention" is not a consideration.
