Instead, if all feature requests are tracked then users can vote on
what's most important to them.
I am sympathetic to the issues you and Andrew are describing (I
understand Bruce's stream analogy, but I think Andrew is right that
from the user's point of view, it's not usable). But I am not
convinced that users voting on desired features will get us the
users' desired features. The features we get are mostly the features
that have attracted developers. The method by which that attraction
happens is interesting, but I don't think it's democratic.
Getting votes might provide a useful point of information, not a way of
making decisions, though.
I certainly don't regard it as a must-have feature.
cheers
