There isn't a secret agenda here -- I'm planning on using the information from those polls to work out what I'll focus on as far as the GRs are concerned. Others probably will too, while still others will make up their mind entirely on their own, or possibly already have. Personally, I also think it's worthwhile having some announcements that focus on what we've actually achieved, rather than the controversies generated by the few things that are still on our TODO list. YMMV. Cheers, aj
