Totally agree with that. You can't, on one side, ask your users and followers to open bugs report for what they would like, what they miss, and ask to vote for, and, on other side (and internally), don't care for these bugs and votes.
Your currents users are not the mass people, they are some geeks/nerds that resist and don't want Android and Apple. This is those guys who will promote this OS, spreading the words on blogs and social media. This is those guys who will open bug and, hopefully, some patches. Those guys again that will try to learn how to create add-ons. And those guys who will learn how to compile it and distribut or to port FxOS on their phone. Not the mass, no...The geeks and nerds.

I don't think that this list, as it stands, represents what we should work on, nor what we should care about. While some of these items would be universally welcomed, and papercuts would be nice to fix, the overwhelming majority of users don't care about CardDAV, WebDAV, VPN support, full-disk encryption, or PGP email. The majority, no, but the people that are right now considering a switch to FxOS certainly do. We should not care about the majority of users. We should care about the majority of user that can potentially switch to FxOS right now. Why? Because we need to hit that 5-10% market share that will make us appear on charts and stats, so that people would start making app for FxOS. This won't happen, ever, if we keep on targeting the mass, staying always behind apple and google. Btw, a lot of people have a NAS that provides a CardDAV server. The vast majority of people I know who've bought a FxOS phone without being involved in the project told me they were missing CardDAV support. It's no surprise to me that it is the most voted feature right now. Actually, it's a bit depressing to hear so many people saying that the most voted feature are not relevant, without never ever providing either an alternate measurement of which features are needed, or even a biased and personal list of those features. The people who voted are the people who care. They are our potential "customers" (not the vast majority of users that either have never heard of FxOS, or have heard it is a sub quality OS). They are also the people that can evangelize for Firefox OS. It's a pity that we are currently telling them that we don't care about what they voted for...
