Nowhere does Adobe guarantee that more votes will, at any time in the future, make this request into a real feature. But it will get the team to examine and take the request more seriously. 

 

at the same time one of my requests which had just 5 votes was implemented in less than a year

though the more - the better

Thank you for understanding the above facts and explanation in this one case.
