Comment:

 As explained, we are trying to prevent scope creep and improve our
 workflow. Given the dozens of us who read literally every ticket as they
 are posted, it makes sense to restrict a few fields (priority and
 milestone) to ensure they can be trusted and useful.

 I am all for consolidating strings; patch away. I know Nikolay has talked
 about a review of all strings in core for inconsistent tone, word choice,
 similarity, etc., but it's quite the project that realistically needs to
 go through person to ensure consistency. (If you want to start offering
 huge patches to that effect, I will gladly assign this ticket to you.)
