That may be a fair point (although I tend to think that most of the 
features in orgmode are really useful). I'd like to point out, however, 
that the proposed change is completely backward compatible. If you don't 
want finer grained priorities, just don't add -<NUM>.

Personally, I vote yes because I find the priorities in TODO lists very 
useful. In addition, I often find that I want to insert a new item 
between two existing ones and therefore having fine-grained priorities 
makes this easy to do.
