For reference, previous discussion about the voting feature in BMO: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.platform/uUQxA2_xjN4/discussion
Voting might be a bad way to find important bugs, but it is *perceived* as a good one. When we ignore them, people think we are ignoring feedback from users and actually *not* caring for important bugs. That's important, because it is one of the main rant against Firefox these days. So either we remove it entirely, or we rely on it, but it's certainly a bad idea to ignore it imho. It could be good to have a uservoice for gaia or something similar. 2015-11-19 19:19 GMT+01:00 Jim Porter <[email protected]>: > On 11/19/2015 12:14 PM, shawnjohnjr Huang wrote: > > Hi I'm just wondering how we handle "vote" counts and who can decide > > features shall be implemented for each FxOS release.
