I'm definitely not opposed to this happening. In fact, I accepted a ticket for sortable todos a while back. I've since, however, decided that my time is better spent on other Tracks features. If somebody wants to add prioritization in a way that doesn't negatively affect existing functionality, I'm definitely interested in getting that into trunk. I created the +1 button specifically to keep track of hot tasks.
