I have already received a couple requests for this and have already
agreed to do so.

Is the "Hide lower urgencies" link not sufficient?  It masks the
low-urgency issues (including undetermined).  This is more of a
question about how honest should the default tracker views should be.
My opinion is that it should be 100% honest.  Right now, the only
urgency not included in the default view is unimportant, and I don't
really agree with that.  Although I could be convinced otherwise (with
sound rationale that considers both sides).

If anyone has other tracker usability concerns or ideas for improvement,
I can look at them when I have time.

Best wishes,
Mike
