This behaves identically the lei external "boost" parameter in prioritizing raw messages for extindex. Relying exclusively on the config file order doesn't work well for mirrors since it's impossible to guarantee config file ordering via grokmirror hooks. Config file ordering remains the default if boost is unconfigured, or in case of ties. Note: I chose the name "boost" rather than "priority" or "rank" since I always get confused by whether higher or lower numbers take precedence when it comes to kernel scheduling. "weight" is also a part of Xapian API terminology, which we currently do not expose to configuration (but may in the future).
