I think the idea of processing each and every file according to their order of appearance was a very sound principle. I don't disagree with the idea of having priorities, but having priorities should be something that is discussed democratically. There shouldn't simply be instructions that are not debated beforehand, etc. If we are going to make an exception to the rule of the order of application, we have to understand why. It has to be debated.
Prioritizing some people means putting other people at the back of the list. And it's not those who are prioritized that I'm concerned with; it's those who are at the bottom of the list.
