Yes, and the basic idea is that you could have high priority packages like OpenSSL, OpenVPN and nginx. Whenever Hydra sees a job of higher priority it starts doing it (potentially aborting whatever it is currently doing). Once all jobs of the same priority are done, it runs the tests of the same priority and updates the channel. Then it goes to the next highest priority. That way security updates won't take longer than necessary. When we use priorities generously we could avoid a lot of delay even in less critical cases.
