This is why I think switching to the severities coming from the rules would
be a better way than defining them by the category of the violation. By
doing that we can limit the need for a lot of categories of violations. We
can for instance have a single code for "Minimum drill violated", and then
have two different rules for the minimum u-via drill and the minimum
through-via drill. Then those rules can treat the code "Minimum drill
violated" as either a warning or an error as they see fit.
