What sample is large enough? I thought getting 30-40 people respond on such a topic is pretty good, but glad to read any concrete suggestions/requirements for a good decision-making process for DEP changes. Even though this decision is rather small, hearing your (and others) thoughts on how to make good decisions is valuable for the future. I am also happy to wait longer if you want to do better announcements, or I can execute your announcement requests if you have a vision of what is sufficiently beyond "hardly anywhere" yet not spammy.
