the number of people CC'ed to a certain bug is a good measure as well - |
| 23 |
however, i cant sort on that in bugzilla. also, i may have experienced a |
| 24 |
particular bug (and CCed to it), but its not a big deal to me. voting |
| 25 |
allows for a much more fine grained user preference in that case. a user |
| 26 |
only has 100 votes and can spend max 10 votes on a single bug - you can CC |
| 27 |
to as many bugs a you want. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
"me too" is an important information on a bug and between a comment, a CC |
| 30 |
and a Vote i prefer the votes... |
