While the theory is certainly nice, the practical consequences are
creating confusion. Despite being a mathematician, I tend to being
pragmatic in these questions, and in this case that means getting rid of
priority.
BTW: Priority is already kind of duplicated, in the form of milestones, so
we keep the functionality even if we drop the priority field.
