I see that Org treats TODOs without a priority cookie as having a
priority that is midway between highest and lowest.
Use case: I may have a task type that fully expresses what it's priority
is. Example would be SOMEDAY which is going to have the lowest
priority. Adding a cookie to all SOMEDAY tasks seems superfluous.
Is there a way of changing the default priority?

C-h v org-priority-{highest,lowest,default}

Doh! That was obvious. I'm getting old. Thanks.

I see that Nick already directly answered your question.
However, I wanted to point out that I think 'todo state' and 'priority'
are orthogonal. For example, I also use 'SOMEDAY/MAYBE' as one of my
todo states. However, within that subset, I still also use 'priority'.
In my case, I use it to differentiate between things I might actually
get to soon, vs. those I may truly never get to.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
