That suggests we should remove all the fields other than "Gender
identity" for this year, unless the Lyon team or someone else are
interested the other stats. I've got no use for them, and Marina asked
only for "Gender identity".

At a project level we do regularly ask ourselves about how the community is evolving, and this can feed into decision making. I've certainly heard questions asked in the past, regarding whether the project is changing along the lines of gender, ethnicity, age, occupation, and geography. Having numbers with which to answer these questions would be useful in my opinion.

I could certainly ask the Board of Directors, to see what they think.
