Amazon takes a step back

I was adding a couple of items to my Amazon Wishlist the other day (Have they patented the concept of wish lists yet? If not, I'm sure it is matter of time.) when I noticed the page looked a little different. Hey, they're allowed a little redesign/tweaking now and then. Then I noticed what had changed: the priority pull-down no longer contains useful data like "I'm thinking about it" but rather highest/high/medium/low/lowest. This change make the wishlist less useful to me than it was. I often used the wishlist as a place to list items that I'm interested in, but not sure if I want to own, pending some research of reviews or reviewing a physical copy of the book/video/thingy at an actual store. I'm aware that there's a comment field for each item, which I'll probably end up using, but I preferred using the priority label instead. Time to go back and review what stuff's on the list, add some comments, and maybe even trim the list up a bit.
