Eeeeeeh? This doesn't make any sense, and sounds like a terrible,
terrible thing. I would rather remove the survey feature ("validation")
from 1.5 entirely than have some weird hidden secret survey thing.

(In any case, as always I strongly recommend removing it from the core
distribution and making it an extension. It's not a core function and
shouldn't be touching core code much if at all. Changing the
"validation" name would probably also be wise, as it doesn't seem to be
involved with validating anything.)
