This would be an absolutely terrible standard. CVEs really, really suck. See, for example, this CVE for curl[1] that was assigned a 9.8. Or read sqlite's page on CVEs[2]. The sqlite issues alone would make this a non-starter, because you're not gonna convince everyone in every piece of software you use to update their version of sqlite.
