**As an** OpenProject developer
**I want to** have **severe** warning notifications to be part of the core styleguide
**So that** I can warn users appropriately when a decision is to be made that may lead to severe consequences, but is not an error.
In the review of https://github.com/opf/openproject/pull/3196, a
notification box with error style was used to communicate a warning
prior to repository deletion with **severe** consequences
(removal of files outside OpenProject).
This feature suggests to add a `-severe` switch to warning notifications
to signal such a severe decision while NOT being an error.
The implementation re-uses the error colors (as red is often used
to communicate severe warnings - cf. GitHub danger zone, Bootstrap
styles).
I envision this notification to be used in other aspects of the
application, with at least project destroy\_info to be of the same
severity that I argue this to be included in the core.
