Judging by the number of duplicates, it's clearly a major issue. Is it 
unfixable from our side? If so, then we should close it with an 
appropriate message. Otherwise I think it makes sense to prioritize.

I can bump it down to HI though. But if people just ignore all the HI 
bugs, then there's no point in that either. Ultimately the purpose of 
prioritizing bugs is to communicate that they're considered especially 
important to fix. :)
