Mirja, I don't think you articulated your concern well. What the
document suggests is what other similar system use. I never heard about
any problems. Which of course doesn't mean that there are no problems
;-).

However, if you don’t indicate anything (maybe just because you have not been aware that it is possible to do so), you might have the same or even a higher priority, and in this case it’s not okay to be starved.
