Relying on a measure of current popularity run the risk of entrenching the status quo in terms of user demographics and technologies.. not a particularly good idea for a distro that is suppose to be pushing new promising technology in quickly. And polls of this nature are subject to extreme 'sweaky wheel' bias where a small minority who care deeply about keeping their applications in could very well respond in a disproportionate manner compared to people who just use default apps and don't care enough to respond. Not sure if its worth the effort to mount a poll that can't be used in a quantitative way. -jef
