I don't think unbiased wording would affect voting result if we did the vote within developers@FreeBSD.org. But the vote with biased wording was placed on.. hold my beer! ... on TWITTER, the most unbiased platform in the world! So, Warner has 1280 followers and I would claim that many of them are not FreeBSD users, and some probably doesn't have idea what FreeBSD bell problem is. It was retweeted by 7 people, some of whom has hundreds of followers. Given twitter algorithms, the poll may show up even in feed of people who don't follow Warner or retwitters directly. You know, some people love to express their opinion on social media, so why not to click on the poll, to help those FreeBSD guys? To sum up, we are asking semi-random set of people a question charged with a correct answer. What would you expect? -- Gleb Smirnoff
