Critical is the right one to use.  Neal and I will basically be moving  
issues between 'release blocker' and 'critical' with the former  
meaning this issue blocks the upcoming release.  The latter means it  
will (probably) block an upcoming release.  I think when we make a  
major milestone, e.g. the first beta, the first release candidate,  
etc., we'll triage those critical and move some up to release blockers.

We should not release the finals until there are no release blockers  
or criticals.  Either the critical gets moved to high and ignored, or  
it gets moved to release blocker and gets fixed.
