I felt it was high time we instituted some way of using the tracker to 
indicate the likelihood that any particular feature will ever see the light 
of day, so I devised a system and sorted the RFEs using the following:

9 - very interesting; it has a high likelihood of being looked at because it 
is either very important or very easy, but things that require huge new 
infrastructure, even if they are comparatively important, don't usually make 
it here

8 - less interesting; important things that are more difficult or less 
important, but still quite worth doing; good ideas that are worth a hard 
think

7 - unused in this classification, untouched if already in use

6 - unused in this classification, untouched if already in use

5 - unclassified; nothing stays at this priority.  Being 5 means it hasn't 
been classified yet.

4 - miscellaneous; (OK, so this is really just priority 5, but now it is 
"classified")

3 - barely interesting; this is for things that might be interesting for some 
rainy day, but they're a long way from critical

2 - send us the patch; this is for ideas that aren't bad, but we're just never 
going to find time to do them, or even look at them seriously in the normal 
course of events, but we'd probably welcome a patch for some/most of these

1 - forget it; everything submitted by "nobody" gets in here unless it's very 
noteworthy; this is also for all the out there ideas like porting to the Game 
Boy Advance, and for anything that's just too vague, too crappy, and just 
generally not quite worth closing outright, but probably not worth looking at 
again unless we all win the lottery and have absolutely nothing better to do.

Anyway, I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's a start.
