We don't want to automatically update a value that the user may
have previously set.  So I think updating instances on mass won't
work anyway.

Besides, an instance may depend on an algorithm which should not
influence its priority value at all (e.g., if it's only used during
setkey).

So let's just remove that and make this simpler.

Thanks!
