We originally just had the three priority statuses: Urgent, Next, and on
deck (Coming Up). Then, we added a "needs triage" status (Needs Review).
That maybe should be implicit. Then, we went through a period where our
ticket reviews were all "this is actually blocked on so-and-so", and so we
added states for those blockers.

I'm not saying this is a good system. But there's the historical context. :)
