IMO it's an important exception. Ubuntu Studio is another exception,
since it's based upon another Ubuntu flavour and it's discussed to
migrate from one Ubuntu flavour to another as the Ubuntu Studio base.

Full ACK, to improve the poll there perhaps should be two additional
options one for "plain Ubuntu" and another for "people using the *buntu
infrastructure, but neither plain Ubuntu, nor an Ubuntu flavour". This
might be from value to understand the result you get by explicitly
asking for Ubuntu flavours only. Without doubts it should be mentioned
that "*buntu infrastructure" is for Ubuntu and it's flavours only,
excluding other distros based upon Ubuntu, such as Mint.

The Ubuntu users mailing list is the most important mailing list, what
ever Ubuntu flavour a user prefers, so to improve the result of the poll
you should consider to announce it at least there, too.
To get a reasonable statistic is alchemy. I'm for sure not an expert,
but I've got doubts that this poll is reasonable in any way.
