Colour me bitter, but the standard that Robert set seems a touch
dismissive by placing a bar that almost no software every achieves.
Anyway, that aside, I would be interested in your answer to the question
about what level of use you consider a "real" deployment as opposed to
experimentation.
Your position is sensible and, clearly, reasoned, and I am interested to
better understand it; to that end I think that answer would help,
especially if you give the little details about why a simple number
isn't effective. ;)
Regards,
Daniel
