This doesn't concern me, since I've already said on core-workflow that I'll stay regardless of the decision. Still, this sounds more like an ultimatum than a survey. ;) Wavering is completely natural on such matters, for example the ctypes maintainer mentioned in his goodbye message (shortly after the svn -> hg transition) that he hadn't even looked at mercurial yet. Which indicates to me that churn in the workflow can be a contributing factor in decisions like that. More than that, changing one's opinion is rather natural, too. As a real world example, I intensely disliked f-strings when they were discussed initially. I prudently stayed out of the discussion altogether, and when I saw Eric's implementation I was instantly sold. That's a complete reversal from -1 to +1. I can't imagine that a statistician would accept any results derived from an inquiry worded like that. Stefan Krah
