I only see four comments and one of which is from François. Am I missing
something?

I disagree that anyone would be happy to set it up because I wouldn't
;). It seems that folks in this thread are more happy brainstorming
little reasons why some prefixes are bad or good, and well, I am just
quite tired of them.

Sure. Then why don't you just do it (open a wiki page and such)? I don't
think there's any harm in having multiple polls for this matter anyway
and I don't think the working group would be able to pick a date of a
poll and say this is the one and only one poll on which the decision
will be based.
