SG, thanks for the suggestion!

One edit - I'd like to remove "security vulnerabilities" from the list.
Security implications are an axis on which bug can be evaluated, one of
many. All kernel bugs have some security implications. Placing them as
a category like crashes, lockups or compiler errors could deepen the
confusion.
