Agreed for 'mere' users, but another factor is how many users become useful contributors. A "conversion rate", if you will. And you can compensate for a poor conversion rate, to a certain extent, by having more users. I think we have a poor conversion rate in Debian, and not enough contributors. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
