Why the weird default priority?

Heya,

First of all thanks for the amazing extension. The generateSitemap maintenance script shipped with MediaWiki is kinda lacking IMO so I'm thinking of using this instead even though I have access to cron...

Now my question:

It seems that if you don't make any settings related to priority, the extension will set the priority of a page arbitrarily based on its position in the database.

In particular, while looping over all pages, it keeps a $pos variable indicating the current loop iteration, and a $count variable that's the total number of pages, and each page's priority is set to $pos / $count so the priority will slowly go from 0 to 1 while looping over the pages.

Is there any reason for this? It seems like a bad idea to me.

Hi.

This is some legacy, and can be removed from the extension.
