Comment:

 I'd like to bump this up again to reiterate that we should change the word
 "Critical" to "Important."

 One definition of "Critical" is ''"having the potential to become
 disastrous; at a point of crisis."''

 One  definition of "Important" is ''"of great significance or value;
 likely to have a profound effect on success, survival, or well-being."''

 As we've seen in the discussion above, not all of the issues that are
 flagged as "Critical" meet the definition.

 For example, not having a backup theme installed, or not having an updated
 plugin that is working fine (without a security vulnerability) is not
 critical. But, based on current best practices, it seems the consensus
 would be that all these items ''would'' meet the definition of
 "Important."

 Will this solve all confusion? No -- and the best long-term solution would
 be to enhance the messaging further (as also discussed above). But in the
 meantime, I think "Important" a more accurate word to use, and it will
 help reduce anxiety for non-technical users.
