I think the damage has already been done. There are enough people -- I'm one -- who feel this has revealed huge flaws in PyPI's stewardship. I'm pretty convinced, results of the poll or not, that the way PyPI is being run is fatally flawed. This "poll" business is just smoke and mirrors, anyway -- notice the way the "no comments" votors are split among three choices, while the "pro comments" voters have just two choices. It's also worded in a way that obscures the real debate. Regardless of the outcome, the poll's not going to change anyone's mind, and it certainly won't change the fact that PyPI's being run as a one-man show, not as a community resource. I'm just not comfortable with that. Unless PyPI changes its governance radically, I'm not going to invest any more effort in it.
