The ASF doesn't have a formal system on which we could reliably conduct such a poll. This is just an informal open discussion with mailing list subscribers. If somebody wanted to gather anonymous poll data and contribute it to the discussion here, they are welcome to do that, and we can consider its utility at that time if it happens, but I don't think it's necessary to formalize a poll and add anonymity as a first attempt to get feedback from users here. It's not a particularly sensitive question to ask whether users would be impacted by the removal of any particular feature. If users have sensitivities in answering, they can just be terse in their response, respond privately off list, through a proxy, or not at all. We can already expect that any responses will not be a complete picture anyway, since not every user is subscribed to the mailing list. This is just a best effort attempt to get some initial feedback.
