I was being flippant. I don't think it's been subject to any imports, so user numbers are probably in the hundreds, at least. I don't think taginfo summarises the user data any more, alas. The general point I was making was that the wiki/RFC/voting system can be used intelligently, if you want to. If someone votes no and provides a killer argument, I would accept that overrules any number of yes votes. It's the same as any form of committee decision - the result might be a bit "designed by a committee", but at least the rough edges have been smoothed (oops - probably not the right word).
