I support this, but we should be careful about the wording. The problem
with lowest is that is has negative connotations that I would like to
avoid- that is why I proposed to name the above levels:
* unbreak now
* very high ("urgent" works too)
* high (equivalent to work on next)
(* normal) this would be optional, but in case we want to keep 5 categories
* low (no intention to fix, old lowest)

While this seems to be an inflation of the name usage, the original issue,
and the one I still have sometimes, is to say something is "very low",
which in my experience doesn't sit well for the casual reader, even if it
has a relatively well established meaning, and leads to people complaining
and getting an explanation, etc.
