On some level it’s sort of weird that priority is a field at all, when you also presumably have an overlapping concept of “order we will do these things in”. Priority literally means the degree to which something needs to happen prior to another thing.



I'm keen on the idea that priority is not a thing, a single issue cannot have a priority.

Priority is an order. If your tracking system makes you assign a priority like "high" then it is collecting something that doesn't have meaning.
