Re. "I am an adult, I can set my own priorities"; I can see how that rationale applies to contributors who do this for fun, but at least as far as I'm concerned, I want an objective indication of what tasks have priority, and minimum number of peope affected as indicated by votes is one such measure.

Message-ID: <fec41dfd-9b30-2961-4fa2-673b6d9a9...@kde.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Hello folks! I often find myself explaining to users that votes on Bugzilla tickets are generally meaningless and not used by most developers to help prioritize work. After I explain this, they generally express surprise, as it's not obvious. I find myself wondering whether it would make sense to disable the voting feature by default to avoid giving our users this false impression. So if you *do* take user votes into consideration when determining what tickets to prioritize, I'd like to hear from you!
