 Indeed. (Regurgitating the lesson from our quick chat on IRC:) The
 solution is for non-core code to never add a meta box with priority
 "core," and even if you want to replace a "core" meta_box, you can simply
 do so by specifying priority "default" which will get sorted appropriately
 via the special case code in `add_meta_box`.

 Resolving wontfix.
