Description

crunch-dispatch-slurm translates the container's priority into the sbatch --priority option. According to the news, this option was added in 14.03.2, which is probably too new for us to require (it's not even included Ubuntu trusty, supported until 2019).

It's also not clear to me that we want it at all. The man page says, "Only Slurm operators and administrators can set the priority of a job." It's not clear to me that crunch-dispatch-slurm should need to count on having those privileges. Even if it happens to have them, I'm not sure it should use what is apparently such a blunt instrument.
