What you may wish to request (I can't imagine it would be difficult) is a
maximum mixed priority level option, where anything above that number
ignores mixed priorities being allowed and waits till everything else is
stopped. I would certainly vote for such a feature.

I will look into doing it myself, but I cannot guarantee anything, as my
boss would first have to agree with our internal business need for such an
additional feature, and I'm not sure we need it at the moment though I
certianly see the appeal of the capability.
