I don't see a problem with doing what it takes to get a feature that you are
interested in implemented.  Having said that, I think you may be
overestimating the usefulness of voting in achieving implementation.  What's
really needed is more developer resources.  My personal Argo to-do list
never gets short enough that I'm scouring the issue database for more work
to do.  The particular issue that you're talking about is one that I've
never voted for, but have done work on.

I think making it *possible* for the AndroMDA developers to use ArgoUML for
their work is a good goal, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to
switch once it is possible.  There very well may be non-technical factors
(political, financial, familiarity, etc) at play.  If they were to switch,
it would provide them with no real benefit and it would require them redo
all their diagrams for their profiles and sample projects.

The fact that the tool that the AndroMDA developers use makes such a big
difference really highlights the complete failure of the OMG to do its job
properly.  It's only in the past few months with the arrival of UML 2.1 that
it's become possible for modeling tools to actually achieve useful
interchange.  It'll take some time for this availability to ripple down
through the food chain.
