Won't work. If you ask a group of people that question and say that the issues already received many votes, then they will replicate that result due to anchoring bias: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring So of course you'll see them say that the issues are still important. We're seeing that bias even today. But the problem is our most frequently-requested features today, namely iOS and Android support, are not even listed in Bugzilla as issues. So my approach will be to not use Bugzilla issues at all. -Rob > If the answer appears to be no to both, wipe out its votes and see if > it creeps up again.
