To that end, I'd like to consider the voting feature. While it is enabled on a quite a few products, anecdotally I have heard many times that it isn't actually useful, that is, votes aren't really being used to prioritize features & fixes. If your team uses voting, I'd like to talk about your use case and see if, in general, it makes sense to continue to support this feature.
I weakly object to removing the feature. I've used voting in the past to avoid CC spam and more recently to get different email notification levels. Actually, my biggest problem with using votes in queries is that I don't care about the actual number of votes so much as I care about the vote rate: A bug filed last month with 5 votes is something that requires prompt attention while a bug filed 15 years ago with 20 votes typically means "this is a hard-to-implement feature for a rare case" or some other similar rationale that makes it not worth including in list priorities.
