9 Are you suggesting that we should forbid people from working on
10 lower-priority bugs anytime a higher-priority bug exists? That would
11 probably just reduce the amount of contribution. You can't force
12 anybody to work on the higher-priority ones.

14 Sure, in an ideal world people work on the high-priority stuff.
15 However, often somebody either prefers to work on a lower-priority
16 bug, or finds it easier to do so. Simply marking a bug as
17 high-priority doesn't make the bug get resolved.

19 Bottom line is that people work on what they work on. Unless you can
20 find people to work on the stuff that you want done you need to make
21 work go away.
