Would definitely prefer regular mods instead of git mods personally. Maybe a poll or such is in order?
I think the April Fool's "group buy" is pretty strong data for the population of geekhack users that follow this IC, because everyone who made a serious reply was under the assumption that "this is it. It's finally happening." And we were all given our own choices into specific, targeted mod kits. Is that sample representative of all people that will participate in this group buy? No, since the group buy will be on massdrop, and not everyone made a post. A sample size of 632 is pretty damn big, though; the real question is the reliability of the data collection.
If you put up a poll here you'll run into similar issues in the data collection, since it is voluntary responses no matter which way you cut it. Only people who follow the IC, on geekhack, who care about this debate enough to want to shift or reaffirm the designer's vision of Oblivion V2, will care enough to respond. And it isn't at the level of "putting money down", which to me is much more reliable data than answering the hypothetical "What
would you buy?" Voting with your wallet is way more significant than simple talk. That's why I keep referring back to the April Fool's and SA Oblivion data. It's the strongest indicator.
e: There's an implication in your suggestion to do a poll that I agree with: simply using replies to this thread is
not a good way to answer the question of whether or not more people prefer git mods to regular mods.
