Yeah, it hasn never been added, because it was that way all the way back
to the RaQ550:

$mx_priority_select = $factory->getMultiChoice("mail_server_priority",
array_values(array("extremely_high", "very_high", "high", "low",
"very_low")));

It then pulls the actual priority from the locale files:

#-----------------

msgid "extremely_high"
msgstr "Extremely High (0)"

msgid "very_high"
msgstr "Very High (20)"

msgid "high"	
msgstr "High (30)"

msgid "low"	
msgstr "Low (40)"

msgid "very_low"
msgstr "Very Low (50)"

#-----------------

And eventually a Handler writes it off to the zone file based on the
locale ID:

if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*(\d+)/) { $value = $1; }
if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*Very_Low/i) { $value = 50; }
if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*Low/i) { $value = 40; }
if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*High/i) { $value = 30; }
if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*Very_High/i) { $value = 20; }
if ($obj->{mail_server_priority} =~ m/^\s*Extremely_High/i) { $value = 0; }

So the "10" simply isn't there. This also makes it really shitty to fix,
because optically the "10" has to sit between "Extremely High (0)" and
"Very High (20)".

How do we name that? "Very, very High (10)" or "Very damn High (10)"?
