+I agree. However, I would view these polls as both a way to inform 
+people and a short measure of what the community members think at this 
+point. It does hold a little value. I am not sure if we all really 
+understand the meaning behind "rolling distro", but the polls still do 
+give a little value at this point in time.
+
+If we are going to poll communities, the community leaders should really 
+get together and decide on the process and questions so that the 
+information collected is valuable. But Ok, this way we still get a 
+little data to look at.
