20021011 snapshot. Before that: 1.4.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.90, 1.0.5 (new->old
order).

If (a) a 1.4.x release with reliable delete code doesn't come out and
(b) a 1.0.x release with reliable 2.8/3.0 support does, I would consider
downgrading to 1.0.x. 1.4.x definitely performs better in my experience
so that's not something I want to do, though.

About 15-20 now... but this will grow.

Nearly all the clients are 7.3/i386. One client is 7.1/i386, and two are
6.2/i386. I expect to add waves of 6.2 and 7.1, i386 (and if it works,
alpha) clients this year (if things take longer than I expect, those
clients might be 7.2/alpha and 7.3/i386 by the time they're added). If
everything isn't upgraded to 7.2/alpha and 7.3/i386 by the time more
clients start rolling in, there will be at least one 7.0/alpha client
(assuming alpha works as an up2date client for current) and maybe a
couple of 7.0/i386 boxes too.

There may be one or two 8.0/i386 clients soon, but I expect it will be
some time until there are many 8.0/i386 clients. (At my site most people
are taking a "let's wait for 8.1 and use 7.3 in the meantime" stance.)
