[Opensim-dev] MANTIS PRIORITY LIST PROPOSAL

[Melanie]

"Severity" is a malleable term. To me, a bug that will cause me to 
lose appearance on teleports would be _much_ more severe than one 
that eats SQLite tables.

Because I _do_ care about my avatar's appearance, but _don't_ use 
SQLite.

So, I would think it's really hard to find an objective way of 
ordering bugs.
