It depends on how you define users. OpenSC, being a "infrastructure  
library" in addition to end user utilities, is somewhat like OpenSSL.  
The number of developer-users of OpenSSL is much lower than actual end- 
users who use software that makes use of OpenSSL. I guess that there  
are at least 100000 end-users worldwide.

BaseCSP plugin is a great piece of news! If I can help, let me know.

I don't think that there is anything (except minor issues) that can  
prevent including your patch in OpenSC trunk.

To some extent it is a standard/default solution, depending on the  
requirements.
