I said this on Denise's entry as well when it came out, but I think this is a vast over-simplification. When X is being discussed and R is the favorite pet feature, and X and R are TOTALLY unrelated, then this should be largely ignored. On the other hand, it's OFTEN the case that the R being mentioned is closely related to S, and will in fact change the implementation/make it easier to implement S, it makes sense to say so. And that's usually when I put in some sort of prioritization comment.
On the other hand, when R has 90% "*grabby hands*" support and X has 80% lukewarm "it'd be nice, but I won't be using it", I think that's valuable information for the devs as well.
