As I've said previously, it's mainly been from people who aren't on
our lists, so I can't easily point there. I know it's up on the lists
every now and then as well, but it's getting too late in the evening
to spend time searching for that.

I've heard it from customers. I've heard it from people I've met at
conferences. I've heard it in IRC channels. I've heard it in
usergroups.
