Stelian,

Respectfully, I think internals@ is being just a bit too uptight here.
First, I did ask Bob before doing this, and while he said he thought it
wasn't a good idea (mostly because of feedback such as yours) - he didn't
'block' me.

Secondly, can we all relax a bit with the rules, RFCs, legalese and what's
allowed and not allowed to do?  It's a simple POLL.  I'm not abusing
anything, I'm not pretending it replaces the vote and I actually know
there'd be at least some people that won't vote in the same way that they
would in case Basic really comes up for a vote.  It's to gauge the waters,
nothing more, and nothing less.

Last, it's completely identical to me asking on the list how people would
vote in case Bob's RFC became available for a vote.  Except it's a lot
easier to track and much more likely to get a large number of responses.

Let's not make an elephant out of a mouse.  FWIW, so far I'm getting
excellent cooperation from the Strict campers on this unofficial poll :)
