The removal followed a question and answer session at the BOINC workshop in Budapest earlier this week. The OS scheduler mis-interpretation was one that I highlighted, but there was also a problem with users thinking that High Priority was a project-chosen queue-jumping facility. I think we're much better off without those confusions over terminology, but I agree with John that it would be good if the reason for non-FIFO running could be marked in some way - if we can find a less-frightening word.
