Even when having a shared meaning, it doesn't hold the same meaning the
priority set by the reporter (how he thinks it should be treated), other
developers/bugzilla gnomes (a more accurate view) or your boss (this is
how you must consider it).
I agree - and I dont mean to suggest we ban people from touching the
priority/severity fields, but rather determine a sound approach as a matter
of policy. A part of my concern is setting expectations around temporally
based priorities that may not jive with a team's use of bugzilla, and/or
setting a precedent for somehow interrupting a team's normal flow. But if
I'm the only one who doesn't agree with assigning temporal values to
priorities I don't want to bikeshed or otherwise stand in the way of this
getting done - we can always revisit it later if it turns out to be
problematic/ineffective/etc.
