RE: [cdt-dev] Bugzilla voting request

[Sebastien Marineau <sebastien@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

the voting feature has been turned on for the CDT bugzilla
categories, so bugzilla users are now free to cast their votes
for CDT bugs.

I'm not quite sure, at this point, what use the development team
will make of this. In general, we should be able to use this to
prioritize features and bugfixes, but since development is still
progressing at a very rapid pace, this may become more useful over time  
as the codebase matures -- guess we'll have to see how the voting goes!
