From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

New low?!
No, it had been there previously (a few months ago). The last three apparently are the toughest.
Very high priority isn't a number that you especially want low (or high), in fact it's probably not good for it to be 0. It's just what is considered important to work on. Once those are fixed, even if no new problem crops up, they'll just relabel existing bugs that they want to focus on getting fixed.
This is in contrast to the 15-minute bugs, that you do want to go to zero.
