Very true. Nevertheless, if the majority of the bugs fall into the same level of 'severity', and there are only a limited number of developers available to handle them (just in theory), then the votes will be, indeed, critical in determining which ones will be looked at first - and how many resources are put into overcoming a specific bug or problem area.
This surely will not be the case if the votes turn into a popularity contest, subject to lobbying, email campaigns for other people to vote for "your" bugs, and so on.
(I mean, come on.)
I see votes on bug reports (as opposed to enhancement requests) as being useful mostly in gauging how many people have run into a particular bug (and found it hard or impossible to work around). That usefulness, such as it is, will disappear pretty fast if the votes are perceived to have been affected by other factors, and become unreliable in gauging just how much of a problem each bug is for Rev users.
