I posted such a priority system a couple of weeks ago & got my tail flamed but
good.  People won't give up binaries, or even accept a cutback.  I hear the
moderators have a continuous flood of binaries submitted to them all the time.

Another solution people have proposed & flamed is a "bin" hierarchy.  Too many
people wouldn't have access to a site that carries it.

All I know is something has to be done....
