Thanks for that link. I see the announcement said

  The results of the survey will be made public after the survey closes.

That email thread seems to end with the week-later reminder, but I think
I found the followup [1].

It links to the results on SurveyMonkey [2], which seem to be viewable
if one whitelists www.surveymonkey.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, and
prod.smassets.net.

It also refers to a blog post [3], no longer a good link; also the only
occurrence of that URL in the Wayback Machine is a November 2020 archive
of its "The content that you're looking [sic] is no longer on this page"
page [4].

Is it possible the blogs.oracle.com URL structure just got rearranged?
Is there a currently usable link? (My search there for "security manager
survey" produces 742 results, six at a time; I haven't found it yet.)

Ironically, I easily found a March 2021 blog post [5] "Quiz yourself:
Using the SecurityManager class in Java", from which a reader might
have come away confident the thing was a going concern.
