What if the announcement mentioned a large number of potentially bogus responses, explained the grounds for this conclusion, with a new survey conducted early next year?
The next survey would then need to be done differently from this one somehow. To improve the reliability, some authentication may be necessary. Maybe Stack, Cabal questions could be grouped as separate distinct surveys, conducted by their maintainers through own channels? Not sure how much value is in exact numbers of users of Stack or Cabal. Both groups are large enough. The maintainers of both groups are aware about usage stats. Is either library likely to be influenced by this survey?
