Hey, Why should I remove ProtectBase ? Whithout removing ProtectBase, Is it NOT proper to install Priorities?

I believe it is one or the other. If you decide to change to Priorities, which is recommended on the Wiki, remove ProtectBase, before you install Priorities.

priorities and protectbase can coexist, but could lead to confusion for the administrator. I use protectbase as a safety measure for the core repos and priorities for fine-grained control for add-on repos. Johnny's recommendation to use only one may make me re-evaluate this approach. YMMV.

I too have both installed. Since I'm not subject to confusion due to large volume operations (although a brain-glitch is certainly possible), I just set "protect=0" as my default and have priority={10,20, ...} as appropriate in the various repo files. NP so far. Previously, until sure I wanted to use priorities, I had "protect=1" and it over-rode priorities (AFAICT). This would seem to have useful implications.

So I leave both installed.
