I agree with everything, including removing "The TC has final say over 
the priority of a bug." which caused all this, but is it really right to 
remove:

"By his election, the developers have agreed to trust in his judgement 
related to bug priorities"? It would seem to me like that's a given. It 
doesn't represent any grant of power, just states the obvious. We're 
voting for Foo as TC because we trust he'll be a good TC. Addtionally: 
"must not hinder any legitimate efforts that the TC is attempting in 
order to prioritize bugs." is also not an adtional grant of power, but 
simply specifies that if the TC thinks Bug XXX is low priority, a 
developer (i'm talking about one, not a majority) shouldn't constantly 
raise it back to BLOCKER just because he feels this is very important to 
him. I think this is also normal curteous behaviour... once again, I'm 
not saying that the TC's decision should be absolute, just that if the 
TC and ONE developer shouldn't have to go through priority wars (unless 
there is a majority). I hope this makes sense.. I'm waiting for your 
comments.
