Well, you can have people who think that a bug is major, because it won't let 
them do some specific thing, or some specific thing doesn't work right, and that 
thing doesn't really affect much in general - just their particular use case - 
and there may or may not be a workaround. So, the bug is arguably minor, 
because it affects so little, but the user might consider it major.

But in general, you're right.
