okay, the choices are neutral enough. The thing is, though, you sent
the poll directly to all current maintainers. Not all maintainers may
be reading this thread.
Did you reference the reasoning WHY people might choose one or the other?
There may be quite a few people who go vote, who havent actually read
the discussion thread.

Telling people "here, choose between A or B", without giving them
explicit comparisons between the two, or at least references, can in
itself be a a subtle, yet heavy bias.
