That we have so many High importance bugs that we haven't had chance
to fix is a sign of two things:
1. We don't have enough developers to tackle them all
and
2. We've been prioritising too many things as High.
In this case I bumped the bug up to High because that was the
importance of one of its duplicates. In hindsight, though, I agree
with Bjorn, it should have stayed as Medium, where Medium means 'it
would be nice to fix this in [whatever milestone it gets targeted to]
but if it slips the cycle it's not the end of the world.' High, by
contrast, means "It's important that this is fixed in $cycle; there
should be no reason for it to slip."

Except that the bug history /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/malone/ +bug/314432/ +activity) shows
(https:/
that the importance has been changed, so any accusations of
revisionism are spurious at best.
