There is also an argument from the distro side that that nominate/also affects do not work. The workers are over whelmed by the number of poor nominations and have talked to us about removing it. This is too much like voting--we all know that democracy and software do not mix. As a non-privileged Ubuntu user, they only reason I think I could justify nominating a bug is if I have a patch or am committing to provide a patch. -- __Curtis C.
