One of the later questions is regarding whether a future survey should include demographic questions. I'm curious why there's any hesitation to ask? It seems there could be missing information because the questions posed aren't tied to the relative harm an issue could pose.

IE, a user might complain that right-to-left editing is broken in some frustrating matter, but without some weighting related to demographics (or other) that complaint might get lost in the noise.

The outcome might be that a lesser-frustrating issue may receive more development time because it simply received more complaints.

IE, instead of fixing right-to-left editing and so broaden the potential audience the developer hours might be spent on spelling errors or integrating a melpa package into core.

This is not to say there exists a right-to-left bug! I am simply using it as a hypothetical example.
