Priority levels for enhancements (was Re: [Qgis-user] Enhancement Requests: Enhanced Map Tips)

[Agustin Lobo]

Probably for this particular case, but, in general, the
2 categories should not be the same. For example, adding
support for ECW and MrSid files
is not a minor enhancement. It's actually a major
enhancement from a user's perspective.
I mean that not all enhancements have to be considered of
minor priority.
