Before I left WMF, I had come to use the lowest priority to indicate what you're using WONTFIX for. I did this because using lowest priority instead of WONTFIX properly communicated the amount of attention the issue is going to get from developers and the WMF. It says "Sure, this is a problem, but we aren't going to spend any time on it. If you can find a way to fix this, we might use it." The last bit -- "we might use it" -- is what WONTFIX explicitly denies. I felt that WONTFIX should be used for things that the developers clearly thought were bad ideas -- "Support Facebook logins and 'Like this page' in MediaWiki core" would be an example of that. Of course, this is just how i came to use it. You may decide that this isn't the way you want to do things.
