This is largely my feeling as well. If you look at one of Andrew's links:

You'll see some quite vigorous opposition to the name change and robust support for explicitly not changing the name.
Fast-forward more than six months and now 20% of people have to actively oppose something or it's supported, even though there is no way that you'll get a response rate on *anything* *ever* to be 20% on a large email list.

Hi.
I haven't been following this discussion too closely, but my sense is that a few people within Wikimedia Foundation Inc. have already decided on an outcome and are seeking "support" and "feedback" to legitimize and validate that predetermined decision.
