They are different but not that independent. Urgent bugs are considerably more 
likely to be blocking (i.e., they should be fixed before the next release) than 
non-urgent bugs are.

Yes, of course. It's just that this particular bug is severe enough that it 
should be fixed before the next release. I'm even becoming to be inclined to 
think that it should be backported to the *previous* release, and I *hate* doing 
that sort of thing.
