I also think encouraging its use could be rather dangerous; given current utilization, if we make it easy to adjust priorities, we could get to a point where getting results from try if you don't bump up priority means you wait until the weekend, or perhaps never get the results. It also means relying on people to judge the relative importance of both their work and their time to that of others. I think some people are likely to consistently overestimate and some to underestimate. I'd also just rather not get into a situation where that's required. -David -- 𝄞 L.
