  | is not a very meaningful sample size is it?

They just polled the IRC channel? Really? That just seems like the definition of a 'circle jerk.' Was the assumption that all or a majority of users technical enough to use the terminal would be in the IRC channel?

No idea. That’s what I derive from "we had an informal poll". Since they hang out on IRC that is probably where it happened.
