Well, we haven't advertised ours on the lists either simply because most 
of the lists are international/global and we "only" market our 
CMS/portal in Scandinavia so far. There wouldn't be much point, and 
might even be negative, in adding our product to such lists.

I doubt we are alone in this. So I think the "real" number ("real" 
meaning any sufficiently non-arbitrary criteria for what constitutes a 
CMS) is much much higher.
