Never looked at them. Never seen the benefit.

Re: Do you use votes on Bugzilla tickets to help you make decisions?

I do vote on Bugzilla, but given the limited development resource, I 
find vote less useful than the number of duplicates or CCs.

Do you use votes on Bugzilla tickets to help you make decisions?

Hello folks!

I often find myself explaining to users that votes on Bugzilla tickets 
are generally meaningless and not used by most developers to help 
prioritize work. After I explain this, they generally express surprise, 
as it's not obvious.


I find myself wondering whether it would make sense to disable the 
voting feature by default to avoid giving our users this false impression.


So if you *do* take user votes into consideration when determining what 
tickets to prioritize, I'd like to hear from you!
