Your poll was "do you want the moon in a box". Of course we would like
to have installers that appear with no PR at zero cost to us, but that
is not an option, so no, I don't consider your poll valid. Your poll
has confirmed that there is a PR cost for these installers and RPMs, and
that some folks would like a zero-PR-cost option, but I think we all
would like that, so there is little need for a poll to prove it.

OK, I am trying to move to the grey area by showing that there is not a
"no PR at zero cost" option for us right now.
