A bug entry gets this priority for 1 of 2 reasons. A required function crashes HA or a required function is missing or not functioning.
1
Serious (resolved after resolution of priority 0 bugs).
Any function that should work but doesn't.
2
Annoyance (resolved in do time, depending on how busy I am and how difficult it is to fix).
All parties (users, testers and author) agree that something in HA should be implemented in a different way or a feature should be present.
3
Superficial (will be resolved before the 1.0.0 release).
Not all parties (users, testers or author) agree on how something in HA should be implemented, function or that a feature should be present. This does not mean that someone is annoying the author.
4
Wish list (resolved a lot like priority 3, depending on demand or my desire for the feature).
