I love the phrase "Prioritized Load Shedding" as corporate-speak for "dropping the less-important traffic."

  How is it corporate-speak? Sounds just like standard thoughtful naming. If I was working on a module that did this I would be happy to name it this even if it never got mentioned in any corporate context.
