Here's why I feel discussing resources,size, and cost are a good idea. If users make lots of outlandish suggestions, the company is probably more likely to ignore their suggestions; but if users understand how feasible or probable a feature is, they can make more intelligent decisions on if they should stand behind a suggestion or not. This would show the company that their users are more serious when they strongly support a suggestion, thus making their acceptance more likely.
