 >> I asked that the price be given some consideration when ranking
results.

Why?  That would defeat the purpose of the price being there at all.  The
idea behind the price is that it reflects the resource required to
implement the function relative to the development resource available for
the complete release.

Previous methods of ranking the desirability of new features did not
account for the effort needed to implement them.  Despite views to the
contrary, Toronto don't have unlimited resources any more than you do.  We
started doing it this way to force people to realize that you can't "have
it all"  Sometimes you have to choose between features.  e.g. Do you want
one $20 feature or would you get more mileage from 5 $4 functions?

I think it works pretty well.
