I would tend to agree with Klieber when he closed the actual bug about this issue that I read through a few weeks ago. The problem with leaving it optional being users vote a bunch on bug X and then the developer says he doesn't care, and then the users bitch because 'their precious voice was ignored'. Personally if users want crap that bad, they can submit the code themselves. Most if not all of the developers here are volunteers, and just because a bunch of users vote up a bug doesn't particularly make it important to work on. I think that if this is made clear enough somewhere, them this could work. Obviously voting is a very nice tool that could help out a lot of people who use it. It's just not worth it (IMHO) when it annoys the other half of the people who don't use it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQolna2zglR5RwbyYAQKakw/8DkzL9lx9tILxXaEo3J6e81QcemBmBMtc 5TS3MdSx6H9qGSFwF1OzXF6TNm5PE+mq6TDH9j013+1OY6Wl1Ul9EP+LT+3xdnVQ EJJgxNsDaWdQlxWEHuBZF4gFK/kD2jAmGGNepi2CTMMEKMtHpyuapJHhKeIQdfdr BmZ/TGtFo8CZDnzy/UBOpjKnlBpuBwOrm9yCMlWo9bdyg3YEwbp9W9CLxiCedUIp q2iv8ykgb2/Fx5pEstdeU5fw+qu3mfemjo4ZQNStE/rJNB32BPDqCCvMnWixJ2C7 H8sesBkuwinh7oDSdyv2FhO2qAEJKSFhV9wK1la5nOt9IRyDQtNv5OpLsLw8OwAs /MhhskiLiB8ch4Y2Xr+TmyRlfzvSjmsU/D0K9k0bwFw+c2vDeD7iEEko7zesgTLT irMQ3mjPFvBcHphD3LQICT8/IgbjOJy18TQOShH9WXLTF+glyEBwX/80bTFQ+mLl ZS+ULdeVPs450h7VoOpIiIY4XPN5HDSS/hE87GwnKAUD3n7jUdhYy9bZr87OY0xC ltZIS+0WMSV469Qj5BWMkabmNeLifHfMLLohj2ZJ3L4gAt9rZ1Pb67yzVEXL/pL9 VdY520LUX8dXFOy21kTqSO9cpXfNJaoidXESs1QlgN/RHuCdehHaneOGnYKO6lfu kWUc16pboSw= =6rLe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
