Why does the survey *have* to be done *right now* at all?

I thought the primary aim of this survey was to give useful feedback
which would be used to improve GNOME. The first step in evaluating
software is to use the latest version — there's no use asking people
for feedback about GNOME 3.0 when 3.2 is coming out in a week.

There's been a lot of work done to improve GNOME 3 over the last 6
months. A lot of the complaints of GNOME 3.0 have been already
addressed. Why not just do it after (even more!) distros ship GNOME
3.2?
