The trick on that one is that we need to provide a migration path for
teams. Many / most Ubuntu teams still use polls for their yearly
governance election. Many would like to use an external survey site, but
there is no way currently to get a listing of all members email address
so that they can set-up an authoritative survey on such sites.

I think William already took care of that one. (Unless it was only the
LP part.)
