I can't poll for everything. I make my own educated guesses.

For a small percentage, vacuum delay and ARC are significant. For a
larger percentage, PITR, Win32, tablespaces, and nested transactions are
significant. I don't need to take a poll for that, and a "me too"
doesn't change that fact.

To say otherwise is to pretend that all our enhancements are of equal
significance. Sure, for a given individual some are very important, but
in the aggregate things are pretty easy to guess.
