The cultural fragmentation of TODO tags is worse than their inaccuracy.

I use the classic TODO, BUGBUG and my own (the last one is usually 'xxx' for brevity, and never in checked in to a public branch). That's it. Life is too short for needless complication.

The PM over there in the corner has just invented eight levels of TODO severity, and will soon multiply the truth by putting them in a database (somewhere), start a set of meetings to track them, and is already talking to tool vendors about building an Enterprise TODO Framework. Dry gulch that PM before you lose your sanity.
