One possible explanation for such a low popcon result for Debian is that those who are concerned about popcon exposure also want fine control in many other areas, including support for many marginally-popular packages, and so selectively prefer Debian. Those hosts would therefore not show up on either list. Other explanations are possible, of course. -- \ “Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except | `\ for that rare story of which you happen to have first-hand | _o__) knowledge.” —Erwin Knoll | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
