Comment (by boonebgorges):

 +1 to wontfix. Changing this will break too many things.

 Even if we didn't have to deal with backward compatibility, I'm not sure
 that disallowing negative priority is a great decision. If 0 (or 1) were
 the absolute lowest priority, it'd be impossible to use the hook to
 preempt 0-priority actions without resulting in race conditions. Having
 the entire number line at our disposal means that this is not an issue. A
 better idea is for us to promote polite conventions regarding the use of
 priorities.
