There are seven states that could have been represented had you
designed this poll. 1 is 'mail comments back to the owners only'
the other 3 states are
for ratings, comments:
would you like them to be a) mandatory
b) opt-in/out at the package owners request
c) prohibited/non-existant
Had you oranised the poll this way, you would have found me in the
'ratings prohibited/comments opt-in' camp. So, of course I think
that allowing package authors to opt-out is a good idea.
But I think that getting rid of the ratings is is also important.
