Yes, and I believe that the survey you propose, when it's delivered,
will be superior to this one. The fact that we're going to do a better
survey 1 or 2 months from now is no reason not to do an OK survey now.
It's not like we're limited to doing 1 survey per year for some reason.

During the next 2 weeks, PostgreSQL.org will have more traffic than it
will for the rest of the year. This gives us an opportunity to hear
from *more* users than we will a month from now.
However, to allieviate some of your concerns, JD has duplicated the
survey on postgresql.us so that we can have the survey on a site we control.
