I don't see why bumping a compiler requirement from one set of antiques to another slightly more recent set of antiques is an issue that needs to be suspended for a long time with so much red tape as user surveys.
It's hardly a bureaucratic nightmare. It will probably require less effort than this thread. I think I have a good idea what the answer will be, but it'd be good to check. The survey was just a vague suggestion for the future ("at some point") that will probably never be picked up, although I do think it'd be helpful. We really don't have enough information about our users.
Now I'm really confused. Are you saying we should take a survey right away, before making any such change, or that we should make the change and then do the survey "at some point" in the future, or...? -- Dave Abrahams
