To make Malone a bit simpler, in a couple of weeks (the exact date is

Why would that be simpler?
Because it will be one less field to twiddle, with hardly any loss of
usefulness.
Severity and priority are two very different things. There can be
major bugs with priority wontfix
"Priority wontfix" doesn't really make sense anyway -- Won't Fix should
be (and eventually will be) a status, like it is in other bug trackers.
or minor bugs with high priority...
...
If the Priority field determines in which order developers should fix
bugs like that one, who is the Severity field useful for, and for what
purpose? Currently the situation is the reverse: most people are using
Severity to decide which bugs should be fixed first, and not touching
Priority. And the very fact that individual developers can use the
fields two different ways -- or four different ways, if you count using
each as a subdivision of the other -- makes them less useful for
project management.
