Perhaps, check the hints in Bug 83331...
No risk of data loss, no security vulnerability. This is not severity blocker.
From https://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity --8<-- Severity This field describes the impact of a bug. Blocker Blocks development and/or testing work Critical crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak [...] --8<-- What you said applies to "Critical", not "Blocker". The reason I chose "Blocker" was that the bug blocks me from installing/using the package at all. Anyway, from the description of "Blocker", it's somewhat unclear to me in what cases to use this severity. In this current case, I tried to install sox when doing development work on the nero ebuild, which shall now depend on sox. Couldn't install sox, so it blocked the development work on nero :)
