Neat, I've been complaining about this issue for ages and nobody ever
mentioned this was an option. :) But wouldn't it be so much easier if
you could just change the event priority/etc directly in the event
policy?

Managing priorities is pretty dynamic, and uploading/managing/syncing
revisions of slax scripts is a giant pain in the ass already. I'd really
rather not have to hard-code the new priority mapping into a slax
script, when it makes far more sense to do it in the event policy.
