:-(

How many sites completely blocks browsers with an unknown User-Agent 
string? There are millions, I know, but how large a percentage of all 
websites out there actually does this? If it's reasonably low, I'd still 
say change it anyway and worry about the consequences later.

What would happen if we did that? Don't you think that one year from 
now, many (most?) webmasters will be checking their sites with Mozilla?
