Unfortunately your poll didn't reach me.
Of course polls can't be used as decision-making tools when they don't
reach a representative amount of people. And to reach a representative
amount of people you'll have to share the link via different (neutral)
sources and let it run for some time.
If polls are not the solution for making a decision on this, what
shall be done instead? Following the discussions about this in the
mailing list there are just a few people arguing for the one or the
other side. So the mailing list obviously can't be used to reach
enough people to make a decision.
