As the author of that code I should maybe clarify it a little bit. The priority ids are constants and not relational data. I would absolutely recommend against using `something_id` when the ids are not known in advance. In this case each priority is thought of as a singleton, and I figured that any table I’d create would essentially be a clone of the PluginStore anyway!
