ELRepo (elrepo-release) decided against including a priorities setting 
by default for the simple reason, what value would you set it to not 
knowing what other repos are present and how their priorities are set? 
Until there is consensus between repos each user is likely to configure 
their priorities differently so we decided to leave it to the user to 
configure manually according to their own preference.

BTW, ELRepo has an EL6 branch up and running and we are gradually 
populating it with packages, which should work fine with SL6 alpha onwards.
