Those are actually dangerous demographics because they mean that when

train new blood, teach the traditions of the group and involve them in
the decision making process

Good point there -- but also check the scale across the bottom. OTOH if this trend continues, doesn't that also mean that newer (<4Y) members are dropping out, or at least not participating in this survey? IMHO we should wait a while longer for more responses to come in, as this is a busy time of year for some folks.
