    Because upstream said this is not a bug but a feature.

    Is "7z a" issue is worth to a RC bug?

    No.

    Maybe the documentation could be made clearer, but that's not RC.

    This "7z a" issue also happens Debian "p7zip" package in stable
    (bookworm).

    This is definitely not a case for a RC bug IMO. I would just suggest you
    to:
    - document the behaviour in the man page and maybe --help, e.g. "When
    used without any file argument, 7z a recursively adds the contents of
    the current directory to the archive" (and forward upstream if fixing
    --help)
    - suggest upstream to fix "7z d" as well as it just removes all contents
    from the archive which looks like not something anybody would ever want
    to do intentionally
    - comment in the bug report and either retitle it as something like
    "document 7z a behaviour" or tag it as wontfix, and reduce its severity
    to "minor"
    - close the bug with the release that documents this behaviour of 7z a.

    Cheers,
