That's a grim assessment. In any case, it doesn't matter how someone
spends their votes. If many people spend votes for bootsplash, and
bootsplash enhancements end up being a priority, then I would hope we
would respond by incorporating them with the same priority as our own
personal wishlists.
In any case, a bug has been created.
