vote++;
it gives a nice understanding on the demand for certain enhancement/ebuild
requests. It's also a nice, low-overhead way for people to say 'heck, I ran
in that bug too and would indeed welcome to see it fixed'.
Of course there might always be people that abuse such a system to get a
stronger voice, but the developer's common sense will for sure deal with
that. After all, the voting is not (and should not be) an official
priority-setting tool. I'd be happy to use it as hint though.
Perhaps it might be usefull to include the 'top 10', or top most of last
week/month entries in the GWN, like the bug squashing/creeping statistics.
Frank.
