In my team we have adopted these meanings (but it's really what you agree on internally)
Blocker: Stop the train. This code cannot move into production
Critical: If it's an emergency, this can slip into production, but it needs to be fixed immediately thereafter
Major: Should be fixed quickly, but can wait until the next scheduled interval.
Minor: When we get to it
Info: eh.
However, you shouldn't take that to mean that our large legacy code bases are devoid of criticals and majors. We've fixed all our blockers and are working to pay down our technical debt.
