At the least, we could sum up the number of downloads of 1.1.6 source,
binaries, and rpm including the various mirrors. That wouldnt' be *too* much
work, would it? Admittedly, that wouldn't count any of the people who do
cvs, but that's probably just a few hundred, and it wouldnt' count all the
people who didn't download 1.1.6 (probably a lot, because of table problems
and whatnot. This might work better for 1.2.0.) And it wouldn't count
multiple people using one copy, and I know there are a number of sysadmins
here.
I was just wondering about an order of magnitude. I was thinking the number
was probably in the low 1E5's, but that's a complete guess. It could be as
low as a couple thousand. Who knows?
