19 I would tend to agree with Klieber when he closed the actual bug about
20 this issue that I read through a few weeks ago. The problem with
21 leaving it optional being users vote a bunch on bug X and then the
22 developer says he doesn't care, and then the users bitch because 'their
23 precious voice was ignored'. Personally if users want crap that bad,
24 they can submit the code themselves.
25
26 Most if not all of the developers here are volunteers, and just because
27 a bunch of users vote up a bug doesn't particularly make it important to
28 work on. I think that if this is made clear enough somewhere, them this
29 could work. Obviously voting is a very nice tool that could help out a
30 lot of people who use it. It's just not worth it (IMHO) when it annoys
31 the other half of the people who don't use it.
