Again: Labels are not (only) about priority. I might label mails about
implementation issues blue and design/interface issue green.
Also, if I change the priority the sender sent, I lose info - I alter

pripority was a bad idea and we needed something more user-friendly.
Jen's proposal is a superset of what we have today and much more flexible.
