I don't supposed this could be helped by calling it something like
"lobbying" using "lobby-votes" or some such (PLUS appropriate
explanatory language somewhere)? The word "voting" by itself tends to
make people think they get to decide.
An excellent idea, since "lobbying" conveys the intended meaning. If
nothign else, "lobbying" would give the SC and release managers some
indication of what GCC users need; at the moment, I (and many other
people) feel that GCC development is driven by and for OS vendors. Those
of us who use GCC in application programs should have a voice, even if
it is just a "suggestion."
