In general, "severity" and "priority" fields are next-to-useless.  The
customer always wants the problem fixed yesterday, so tends to give everything
a high severity, while they have very little context to know what the
priority should be.  I've only ever found such fields useful when they
are only visible internally and are used as guides by the people responsible
for the PRs.

My $.02, from my _extensive_ experience in this area. :-)
