I think that the key mapping for "," and "C-c," in agenda is a mistake
and should be swapped. In the normal org-mode, "C-c ," is mapped to
org-priority. In agenda mode this gets changed to
org-agenda-show-priority. In agenda mode "," is mapped to
org-agenda-priority, which behaves like org-priority.
This is very confusing.
We should swap the mapping or find some other mapping for
org-agenda-show-priority. That doesn't confuse the keystroke memory of
users or introduce an inconsistency between modes. If agenda mode was
all that we had to deal with, this would not be an issue. But it's more
important to keep things consistent within org-mode.
Sorry for missing any earlier discussion of this. I didn't notice a
proposal to introduce keystroke meaning inconsistency within org-mode.
This change appeared between 7.8.11 and 7.9.

The agenda is read-only, so short keystrokes are often preferred
over long one. "," being short for "C-c ," looks natural and intuitive,
so I don't think the change is necessary.
But, I'm open to other advice.

The agenda is not read-only for this command. The current "," modifies
both the agenda and the source org file to change the priority. In
org-mode, this modification is made by "C-c ,". If agenda were
read-only I wouldn't have made the suggestion. What tripped me up is
that the key combination that I use to change priority in org-mode
didn't work in agenda-mode. In earlier versions of org mode, up to
7.8.11 the "C-c ," did change the priority in agenda mode.
Since the priority is already displayed as part of the line in the
agenda, I don't see the priority of having another command that
displays it in the minibuffer.
An equally good fix is to have both "," and "C-c ," make the priority
modifcation. (Basically change the key-map so that both "," and "C-c ,"
map to org-agenda-priority.)

You can now use both `,' and `C-c ,' in agenda to set the priority.
You can also use `C-u ,' and `C-u C-c ,' to see the see the priority.
Note that the priority displayed is a number, not the priority cookie.
Also this number for the same headline will differ in agendas and in
Org buffers, as the priority is dynamically computed in agenda.
There is also a new speedy command "," to set the priority when point
is at the beginning of a headline.
Thanks,

With the related commit release_7.9.1-93-ge8b45bb the agenda view
priority of all entries in the agenda view becomes -1000. Before, most
of all the scheduled and deadline were different for different target
dates.
Only as an idea for an improvement at the same time: Instead of, or
additional to showing the agenda view priority of just the current
entry in the minibuffer it could be helpful to toggle preceding each
agenda view line with the agenda view priority for understanding
purposes. Similar to C-c } (org-table-toggle-coordinate-overlays) on a
table.

I see, yes. Or support priority numbers in `org-agenda-prefix-format'
and `org-agenda-fontify-priorities'... not on top on my TODO list I'd
say :)
