Personally, not a fan. There aren’t actually that many announcements that you really need categories for people to be informed about things - the main page of the site loads, you know within 5 seconds of scanning it whether anything affects you. Categorising stuff only comes in handy when you are checking back through things - in which case you don’t want to know by severity, you want to know by component affected.

Also - severity is not a very good measure of things - who decides what is severe and what isnt? For example, mysql goes offline - this is very severe for the person whose site relies on it, whereas another person who doesn’t use it couldn’t care less.

Stick to well defined things - this is broken, that is broken, as opposed to a very subjective classification.

Most severe category: “Oh God! We’re all gonna die!”
