Not that I like to be polemic, but this sentence doesn't mean anything. If the answer is "we don't know", then we don't know. Problem is that you don't give any ground to your claims, hence it is far worse to give any estimation. The only serious analysis was the one made by Bernd Eckenfels, which ended with 1%. I don't really believe this can be used as it is before another contradictory analysis can be done. Of course, you surely do not need such serious considerations for your precise issue, but claiming that any ungrounded "estimation" is better than nothing made me tilt :) Romain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
