Two things that came to mind when reading the analysis last year:

- There were a high number of people indicating that they were building curl
  with other than the standard build systems we support. It would be
  interesting to know what people are using instead. Are people using
  Bazel? Scons? Are all those people just using Android's build system? Maybe
  add a "custom" option and write-in text to capture anything else. Also,
  maybe a write-in slot asking people what build system they would like us to
  support.

- The question if people were using "the internal libcurl progress meter"
  probably still isn't clear enough. It should explicitly say "NOT the one you
  get with -# or --progress-bar".
