Yes, my only concern is ABI shouldn't break for existing users who might be giving options and retrieving current settings. So, my thought is just to make priority argument optional for policies that don't use it and keep the existing behavior as is. I can post another patch after this discussion that removes "[options]" for querying current settings and the issues due to changing existing behavior could be discussed there. Thoughts?
