Re: bugzilla voting

If the GCC developers think turning on voting would be useful to them, I

If it is turned on, we need to be sure that expectations are set correctly
("Mommy, they fixed Johnny's bug, even though Billy had more votes!
Unfair!  I'm telling RMS!").


Since the right expectation is that votes should be entirely ignored, I
don't see any better solution to the problem of possible incorrect
expectations than to leave voting turned off!
