That's useful to know, but doesn't seem to be correct in the arm case at
least.

1. geda-gschem, speex and wipl are all out-of-date.
2. geda-gschem, speex and wipl are all priority low.

3. geda-gschem is section electronics.
   wipl is section net.
   speex is section sound.

4. geda-gschem < speex < wipl

Yet wipl was uploaded yesterday and is #9, speex is #19, and
geda-gschem is #36 (and slipping).

What's the purpose of sorting by section in the ordering?

I suppose the real problem is that there doesn't seem to be any
progress on the queue.
