Excellent.

'critical' is fine (or 'immediate').  My problem before was that I  
couldn't do one query that gave me all the critical issues for both  
2.6 and 3.0.  That certainly could have been pebkac though.  Neal  
mentioned that that kind of query should be possible, if it's not  
already there.
