Bug#846002: blends-tasks must not be priority:important (was Re: Bug#846002: Lowering severity)

Having more choices means more confusion. Look at any UX studies, or
install parties.

Also, choices aren't consistent depending on installation media, which
doesn't help.

You might call it me being weird, but this is how we've tried to balance
choices in D-I for a few years (10+ AFAICT), as already confirmed by
Christian earlier. The addition of various blends in the path of all
users shifts this balance, in the wrong direction.

Surely, people asking for blends are using blends selection. That's nice
and I'm pretty sure nobody is going to dispute that. But that shouldn't
make d-i more confusing for others.
