Doing votes often appear as "developers must do users bidding".  You
took the response here that we avoid votes for that reason as
"developers will not listen to any requests, whatsoever" (which is
totally false; I have tried to implement several bugzilla requests
that weren't interesting to me personally).

Perhaps the useful thing to do here would be to figure out a better
way to portray the middle ground we are trying to take instead of
flaming about which polar opposite we should be closer to.

My $0.02.
