That doesn't work in that a high number of votes currently has no effect on whether a bug gets fixed or not. Because developers never pay any attention to that field (well OK *I* don't pay any attention that field). I suggest that this feature be removed so that people don't have the misplaced assumption that voting for a bug will get it fixed faster. Alternatively if the decision is to keep this feature, someone should periodically go through bugs with large number of votes and decide whether to fast track or deep six each bug.
