I therefore think that we should run a poll, and ask people about what they want. The poll should be worded carefully, as to not unintentionally bias people one way or another. Here is a suggestion for what we could ask; let's see if we can shape this into something we can all agree on, then we can put the poll online (e.g. in the forums or using LimeSurvey, other suggestions welcome):

No, any internet poll would only cover a small amount of users. 
Specifically users who have online access, and actively monitor the 
ScummVM web site. Please don't turn this into another pointless online 
petition.

Besides any poll of this type, could set a dangerous precedent for 
ScummVM. Since we never add features or games, based on requests.
