What I am saying is that we need to have a two-part "California-style" ballot here:
So, run that survey, or find someone else to run that survey, but don't carp at Branden for trying to gather data that interests him.
I suspect not many people want DFSG-free Debian bits, so aren't interested in that survey, so you will need to run it. It would be very interesting to *finally* read consistent rationale in a "we want DFSG-free Debian bits" statement. Assuming that's actually possible.
You could always just run a yes/no survey, but that won't tell us much more than "not everyone has the same view" which I think we know after a few years of this debate.
