Right, also the 'black-screen' bugs, which are like freezes that occur
during startup, but have a different debug procedure.

Yes, let's count it as a freeze. We don't need to get *too* precise
with our categorization, else it may lead to confusion.

Certainly. And here's the full list as currently stands:
all_symptoms = [
'freeze',
'crash',
'no-screens',
'black-screen',
'resume',
'vt-switch',
'resolution',
'cropped',
'dual-monitor',
'ghost-monitor',
'bad-edid'
'font-size',
'tv-out',
'xv',
'performance',
'high-cpu',
'tearing',
'corruption',
'3d',
]
