Hi,

there's no wrong or right involved here. Both directions make sense, and
it's a matter of taste what to prefer. Remember e.g. that marks in school
also have low numbers for the "better" ones (in germany and some other
countries).
The limitation to 1..99 was already discussed, and we support a wider
range.
Ciao,
Michael.

zypp implementing the yum way just leaves me speechless,

Why limit the priority value to 1..99?
Why make it hard to figure out what's low and high?
smart did it the right way, where a higher (greater) number means
higher priority --- simple mnenomic.
