Is some departments we use the flagging feature to emphasise urgent which cannot wait to be prioritized before next planning meeting. Together with context, this gives the unplanned/planned issues velocity as well.

But then we need to use other ways to track impeded tasks (status or priority field). But I like the way the flagging field highlights the issue on Planning Board and Task Board.

Of course, everything of this can be solved, but it is not very neat and intuitive. I don't like to use the status for impediment, becuse it is not really a workflow status (You would need to be able to reach impeded from all status etc.). Priority is a bit lost after GH introduction, since ranking is the real priority. Priority has kinda become severity, even though you cannot change the name.

Would you consider to improve the it feature to support multiple values, maybe even combined with multiple colored flag marker?
