You can not really assume any opinion for people who did not participate, 
unless you can really prove why there's a bias. I did not participate 
either and I do not agree with Walter. So now we can say the opinions of 
those who did not participate in the discussion are split 50:50 ;-)

We could assume there's a slight bias of those agreeing with Walter not 
responding because they don't have to actively convince anyone, as the 
DIP has been accepted. But given how much negative feedbcak there is, it's 
also likely people would voice their opinion to support the decision. 
Really the best thing we can assume is that the opionions of those not 
participating are split in the same way as the ones of those who are 
participating. The strawpoll posted recently suggests that as well:
