Sure, most RTOSs have priority. That doesn't mean it should be used.
As I said, I know of some real world experiences that demonstrate why
it's dangerous to use priority.
That's not to say you should *never* use it. I avoid it when
possible, which so far has been all the time. I can imagine cases
where one or two tasks have such low latency requirements that they do
need priority. If so, use it, but be aware you're playing with fire.

It's been discussed some on the RTLinux list. I could dig up some of
the archived stuff from there, and post it here, or offline, either
way.
