What all or nothing scenario would that be?  I certainly didn't speak
of one.  Should I have added "lots of distros are using both, and lots
of distros are doing something else" as well?

My point really was that "lots of people do foo" really doesn't mean
much of anything.  There are lots of distros out there, so there are
likely to be lots of distros doing anything.  And, in any case this is
really just talking about popularity, which is nice, but not really
all that important.
