Guys, I think this is a fantastic idea. We may need just this for a
project that is being discussed with another company, so please could
you go ahead and spec it? Kiko, I would ask this spec be given high
priority.

I would think it could be as simple as:

  ALTER TABLE POTemplate ADD COLUMN Priority INTEGER;
  UPDATE POTemplate SET priority=0;
  ALTER TABLE POTemplate ALTER COLUMN Priority SET NOT NULL;
  ALTER TABLE POTemplate SET DEFAULT 0;

Then let's list the templates by priority, on both the
distroreleaselanguage page, and the productseries page.

Finally, let's do a few careful queries to make sure that Ubuntu MAIN
templates get set to priority 50. Then we can tweak by hand the very
important ones, like the installer (gui and text) as well as panel etc
to priorities higher than 50. The result will be, over time, a good
prioritisation list.

It would be good if the creation of a new distrorelease resulted in
copying the old templates (and priorities) so that the priorities are
preserved as new releases are created.
