Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
We've already been looking at the results, and it has influenced the direction of multiple vendors in the process, but of course it isn't the only thing we look at.
We're going to continue to look at this throughout the process, so it's still worth getting a list together.
Whether we can release the raw results of this (and to what degree), will involve discussion between browser vendors, so it isn't something we can commit to right now. I know that's not… great… but it's a delicate process (one that I'm still personally getting used to - it's my first year 'on the inside').
I considered the 'vs' approach, but I worried that there might be a lot of iterations where one or two of the options would be things that the person didn't understand, or didn't care about.
How do you feel about something like this: The user goes through the long list, picking what they understand and don't dislike, then the 'vs' system is there for helping determine the order of those items. Then the user gets the ranking which they can tweak.
I won't disagree here, it would be tedious.

Sounds promising to me.
