Hi all,
It may be a bit late for this, e17 lurking just around the corner, but
it looks like there still are a handful of e16 users out there.
I think there are a lot more e16 users than you expect. Thanks for all
your hard work on e16!
I'll update my build shortly.

More than just a few. I've been using Enlightenment since it was the
Gnome WM and I still use E16 in certain situations today.
I use Debian stripped to the core essentials with E16 and all the GTK+
apps (Gnome Office instead of OO.o) to replace Windows 98/ME on my
residential clients older machines (pentium II's/celerons under 400Mhz
mostly). It takes them a month or two to really get used to it but once
they do they love it. E16 is extremely stable and uses very little
resources, plus I get many many referrals based on the eye-candy effect
alone. ;-)
I don't see E16 losing it's appeal for a long time. E17 is great and I
use it standalone on my high end laptop and my kids use it on their high
end desktop as a Metacity replacement but for older machines E16 can't
be beat.
The quality of the code has stood the passage of time better than almost
any other FOSS project I know of. As the old saying goes "if it ain't
broke, why fix it?" I'll be using E16 for a long long time.
