I don't consider such survey results to be of any relevance to reviewing a 
GCC patch.  The basis for review now is what's in C2Y now (which the 
proposed patch does not follow).  If a name change is accepted in Graz 
(possibly taking into account survey results at that point), that's the 
point at which it's relevant for GCC.
