Originally i liked the idea of voting on patches. Then i realized that it was a bad idea because it allows people to show disaproval without providing any substance. It doesnt provide the author with any real information as to whats wrong with the patch it just signals some kind of disapproval. Which is a problem as there are people who can vote who are generally feature adverse. They dont see any need for providing functionality that they do not directly want. And they vote. So i ended up just ignoring patch votes. If the person voting didnt want to to take the time to explain their objection I personally refused to consider their opinion worthy of consideration.

If I were still an active PMdevil I would probably advocate that we remove the ability to vote on patches.
