I see nothing wrong with letting only developers (or some other designated
set of persons) set priority. However, users might still see the priorities
so that they can tell what will be fixed soonest.

I am guilty I just realized of not looking at the prototype; I've been
entirely thinking 'native' roundup, not of whatever changes were made for
the prototype.

To remove the priority attribute means you want to handle rfe (wishes) some
other way? That is, this issue class is only for bugs, period? I think that
is the source of my confusion. The problem is people will submit wishes and
commentary disguised as bug reports. ("Clearly a dict should remember the
order of its keys.") We have also found bug reports that are 'user error'
frequently turn into FAQ entries or 'feature' descriptions, so we have found
it useful to use the original Roundup priorities - done + FAQ. We didn't
find it useful to have two forms of closure.
