We must say > _something_ in NEWS. It has always been the case that `priority' could be any value. Any non-number value was treated as nil by the display engine, whereas now some cons values are treated as something else. But ediff's bug could already be triggered in Emacs<24.4 by a package installing an overlay with a `priority' that's a cons cell. Stefan
