True.  It would be nice to start using this to learn more about the Ruby 
community.

The questions here are 1) What are you trying to learn via these 
questions, and 2) How might the outcome influence the actions of the Ruby 
community?  Personally, I'm all for doing polls, but only if the poll 
leads to some usefule conclusion (I'm not saying there isn't anything 
useful to be learned from your suggested poll, but I can't see what it is 
without further information).
