I intentionally didn't post in my blog (and asked others not to post to
theirs) because it's possible - likely, in fact - that readers of any
one person's blog will be skewed somewhat to one side or the other (to
pick an obvious example, reader's of Kevin's blog would be mostly KDE
users and likely to skew to the adventurous side of the question). I
thought the best reliability we could get is to avoid having the poll
promoted outside the forums if possible. User mailing list would be
fine, though, please do post a link there!
