So with Google activating ~800k android Linux systems a day last I heard, |
| 7 |
how do the number of (android) Linux systems (which we've already |
| 8 |
established as having dbus) compare to the number of server Linux systems? |

If traditional gnu-linux isn't a minority in its own community already, |
| 11 |
it soon will be. |

I sympathize with the sentiment behind the argument, but the numbers game |
| 14 |
really doesn't cut it, or we'd all be running some binary distribution or |
| 15 |
other instead of from-source Gentoo and we'd not be having this |
| 16 |
discussion as it would have already been had for us. (Yeah, there IS |
| 17 |
rather a lot to be read between THOSE lines!) |
