Another thought: we could look at filling the patch countdown in order of priority (plus some amount of discretionary judgement if a patch has been waiting for a long time). I didn't do this in the last patch countdown, but I'm now thinking that I should have done this. One consequence of this interpretation of the Priority field means that we should probably remove priority-postponed. I mean, if somebody *does* come by and start working on ancient music, I don't want to "penalize" having his patches being reviewed just because nobody's been working on ancient music in the past few years! The more that I think about it, the more I like this interpretation of the Priority field.
