with some more data in that number has now fallen to 1.02%. But that's not
why I'm replying to myself :)

Relevant followup -  http://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=260

that blog takes a look at a "large cross section of websites" (both client
and server) and has some of the same kind of data.. seeing SSL3 2.48% of
the time in the wild.

This is UA breakdown of the source of an SSL3 connection (I believe IE <=6
favors SSL3 by default)

Internet Explorer >=7

68.31
Internet Explorer <=6
           6.67
Gecko

16.39%
  Apple

4.12%
  Playstation

2.85%
  Chrome

1.36%
  Other

0.30%


If you reweight that by market share that makes chrome look *a lot *better
than everyone else. The most intuitive conclusion is that we can improve
our intolerance strategy for falling back given the state of the Internet
though I'm curious if anyone has other theories..
