That's ok. I also didn't consider that these can be modified by users, which 
would make it unfeasible anyway.

I'm happy for them to overlap. It's unlikely that they will significantly 
anyway in a common setup considering the number of users it would have and 
assuming some division of the work.

The discussion aspect is a good point I hadn't considered yet. When your 
priorities and the overall priorities overlap significantly that also provides 
helpful feedback which may trigger helpful conversations.
