I think it's difficult or impossible to get an reasonably unbiased
sample of the population of Gentoo users as a whole. Voting is only fair
when you can get a reasonably unbiased sample of the whole population.
Due to human nature, people who are unhappy with the change in defaults
are more likely to express their opinion publicly than people who
welcome the change in defaults. This tends to bias statistics in favor
of the unhappy people.
