This still feels like an awful long time.  I understand the desire to
do synthesis and interpretation, but is there some reason why basic
summary data can't be released much faster than 3+ months?  For
example, the number of people choosing each option on each question.
While there is value in picking apart subgroups and performing
regressions (especially when you have such a huge sample size!), many
of us aren't even sure what the first-order patterns will look like so
it would be nice to see some data released.
