http://d.puremagic.com/issues/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance says 
"[b]locks development and/or testing work." It's not entirely clear 
whether that refers to DMD development or development of anything else 
using DMD.

I think I might've actually used to use your definition of "blocks DMD" 
but have since lapsed into "blocks my work"...

According to the list of all new and old blockers, usage varies:
