+Surveys are quite reasonable. You get a standardized conclusion. Many people
+use a distribution without ever being registered at a forum. In a forum you
+will only get the extremes (good and bad) but not the small papercuts that
+may disturb the user, ... . There are many reasons for surveys (ask some
+marketing guys or psychologists).
+
+But that’s for the fine tuning. We can think about such things, if we
+released some versions. And I think it never should bother the user. Maybe a
+button in the welcome center "Your opinion is important for use" but not
+with a autostart after the first boot.
