We haven't at bleeding done any alteration to priority so far, not in rules or in the classification.config.

How about this: We add an individual priority up or down for those rules that are out of the norm for the trojan-activity and leave the rest alone?

For one, that's less work for me. :) But it also lets us note that some types of trojan-activity are higher risk than others.

That sit well with everyone that uses priorities?

Burak, Matt and David, To resume, there is a choice to be done between in-rule prioritizing and classification. But, the less burden for admins and the highest flexibility would be to ADD (do not shout at me, pls...) a new category. Leave existing trojan-activity and have a new one called, for example low-impact-trojan (or whatever you see fit). This will allow admins to simply edit the classification.config to add this new class and give the priority they want.

And do you use oink to update your living classification.config ? Do not you 
use a real classification.config that you update manually and another one which 
is oinked (but not used) just to see what changes are ongoing ? IMHO, should be 
the config of choice...
