Yeah after roughly 1 day worth of votes it looks like about 75% of the
people who voted would prefer a change away from Phobos.  I was
surprised to find that the majority (61%) voted for Tango with no Phobos
compatibility.

I know it's just a silly opinion poll, and not any scientific evidence
of anything, but it's still interesting none the less.

First of all, 180 people have voted so far, which is way more than I was
expecting!  That would seem to indicate that it's a topic people care
about.  And the fact that it's such a huge landslide in one direction
says something important too.

At the least it says that this is an issue worthy of further discussion,
and it's one that I really think requires some attention from Walter.

Walter, I am specifically requesting a response from you.  Where do you
stand on this?  What are your thoughts?  Do you ever intend to open up
Phobos to more contributors?  How do you feel about the idea of
scrapping Phobos?  How do you feel about Tango as an API?  What do you
think about the poll results?
