There is no "severe to you" as a dev in this sense. Severe to you is when your IDE is not working and you can't work on the priority tasks. The crash has no severity to you. It is either severe or not to the client. If you don't know whether it is severe to them, sure you can guess that a crash in france is severe, but that's an incorrect guess, not an independent dimension of severity. There is no "techical measure of severity", everything is goal oriented. It's not severe unless it's important to the client, or is impeding something that is important to the client.
