What percentage of acquirable/storable traffic do you suppose
actually exhibits perfect forward secrecy?

I bet the word "Perfect" mis-leads quite a few people. It isn't
perfect (unless you take as axiomatic that the cipher in question
cannot be broken).

Maybe the term should be renamed "Forward Secrecy... for now." :-)
