You sent the email in a very bad time, some people were (and still are)
in holidays and for some people keeping up to date in reading email
while DebConf is challenging :)
Answering an email 3 weeks later is not late, sometimes you are busy in
a given time and answering in a hurry is never a good idea.

Sorry, 20 voters does not look a big sample and 12 ok over 8 no-ok is not a
large majority (60 %)

I don't think we should do a poll to decide this, we should discuss and
allow people to give arguments why they like the idea or not. You need to
give more than 2 days for that.
And please, do not say people has not complained in 3 weeks since you
made the change as an excuse, nobody complained neither about this
not being enabled by default in all the many months that information was
there.
I remember people complained about the ubuntu column when it was enabled
firstly and the agreed solution there was turning it off by default.
