I hope they took more than a glance at what some other vendors are doing (EG Microsoft) before adding to what can already be a confusing collection of incompatible qualitative ratings :/
As noted by other commenters here a vague description of the category and some idea of the global risk, with a spot for you to add local risk seems a good tool here that serves both attack and defense with some balance. Oh, wait, we have that already in CVSS!
edit: spell acronyms right!
