Agreed on the worry... I'd hope that gaming the user survey would be relatively difficult and is already a risk. However, there are lots of other motivations for influencing the user survey and we need to address these anyway. I don't think it is perfect or universal but it seems better than a doodle for each project which is easier to influence.
