Yes, that is why I suggest using heat along with priorities: first to 
filter bugs by a priority, then to order them by heat.

Moreover, incorrectly marking a bug as security is something very rare. 
And if it happens it will be easy to spot and fix, while it will only 
affect the very few bugs with a heat over 250.

In the case of the two latest Ubuntu releases, the maximum quantity of 
bugs postponed for triaging by such a mistake would be:

Critical: 0
High: 6
Medium: 6
Low: 6
Wishlist: 1

And the delay would be equal to how much time one report takes to be 
triaged.
