The numbers given by Erik at the start of this thread are sufficient to draw the conclusion that a significant majority of the community will be happy with attribution by URL.
Less than half of people answering the survey ranked attribution by URL first.
And yes, 80% of people ranked one of 4 options which I consider unacceptable first. But then, 67% of people would have done so even if everyone chose their answers randomly.
It was a terrible survey, and a terrible summary. And it was unnecessary to have a survey in the first place. It's quite obvious to everyone that "a significant majority of the community will be happy with attribution by URL", despite the results of the survey, which doesn't actually show that at all (the survey doesn't ask anything remotely close to that question). But that's also completely irrelevant.
