Agreed. Also, I'd like to point out that the results will be
interpreted and explained by someone (Björn) who knows how to do that,
and will instruct us in how to take the best advantage out of them. So
it's not just a random user study done by $developer which is likely
to be interpreted in the wrong way.

Sorry to say that, but this seems (yet again) much ado about nothing,
and most of all (reason why I care) slowing down a very useful thing
for the sprint, putting focus on pointless discussions instead of
getting the actual job done. I seriously doubt anyone in this list is
more knowledgeable than Björn over this topic, so as I said in the
other mail: PLEASE put some trust on your bros (because we're striving
for the same things), especially if they have a track record of
competency, getting things done, and dedication to KDE.

Back on topic: overall, I just went through the survey and it looks
good to me, can't wait until it goes online. Will try my best to
spread it everywhere I can.
