Hi
If we have the (long overdue) preference profiles we can
legitimately promote the change as good for everyone.
Those who need to preserve existing behaviour can just select the
Legacy Profile; a single quick workspace 'repair'. They can exploit
per-application profiles to ensure uniformity as preferences evolve.
Those who want to move one can proceed without chnage, but will
probably want to have application-wide profiles too.
Regards
Ed Willink

agree 100% we cannot ignore the results. It is obvious a lot
of people want the compiler warnings to change, so work
needs to be done to improve the warnings. However, I do
think a large minority didn’t like what was proposed so we
should look for a compromise.

If 65 % is not large enough for action
you should have stated in the beginning that only if we go
over e.g. 75% this change will be made, not decide now based
on a feeling for a number in a 'hmm 65% doesn't sound
enough' fashion.
As I said I have voted 'No' for this
but this ignoring of the people who actually took the time
to help you by stating their opinion feels really bad.
This poll resulted from an effort to be decisive and
actually do something rather than go around in circles
with opinions. We fended off other poll questions for
which we had no 'promises' to be implemented if chosen so
this poll was obviously aimed at implementing the
requested features. Saying now that 'Yes you want it but
we at Eclipse with commit rights know better' is not a
good community strategy, especially to those who you asked
for an opinion and who turned their head and listened.

OK,
I’ll have to blow the dust off of it and read
through the yellowed pages :).
Not
sure self-selecting matters too much in this case
(and I’m pretty sure my textbook says that
self-selecting is bad). I didn’t feel the way the
survey was presented led to a bias.
Anyway,
just fishing for opinions. I still agree with
Ian’s conclusions.

Check your old statistics textbook. The
total sample size was well over 2000 people.
That is definitely a statistically
significant sample size. Of course the
sample was self-selecting so there will be
bias. So please stop saying that
the sample was too small.
If we assume a population of 9 million
people who use Eclipse, a confidence level
of 99%, and a confidence interval of 3%, we
only needed 1849 responses.
