Voting would be useful to judge which package gathers sufficient popularity to be added to Portage for example. Currently only packages a developer cares for are added, voting would help to get user opinion. On the other hand, on base system bugs for example voting would be more a pressure tool that might not help much... We could enable voting on a "New Ebuilds" section and see how it goes ? -- Koon -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
