Of course, polls will have a much greater effect on OpenEuphoria ... the RFC
itself will be based on a voting mechanism even. Why do we need RDS to agree?
If people who want to keep using Euphoria but are fed up with lack of new
features in RDS Euphoria want to be heard, they now have the option of using
OE instead of accepting the current Euphoria or moving away from it altogether.
(The best part, is that since the official interpreter/compiler/translator (not
sure which quite yet) will probably be written in OE itself ... hence an
unsatified user has the option of adding a new feature themself if needed.)

Hence, I think the idea of polls are far from useless.
