Do we need to add the new priority soon? If yes, then I will have to fix
ctdb code with additional priority.
In the long term (matter of few weeks), I am going to drop database
priorities from CTDB completely. With parallel database recovery, there is
no need for database priorities in CTDB. They should only be required in
Samba code to avoid deadlock between samba processes.
