  Don't know. Need a poll :) I'm definitely sure we have at least 
10 users; beyond that I can only speculate; Maybe 2 to the power 
of ten or thirteen...

  Exactly! It's on the 'big screen', meaning smoke and gimmicks, 
the same as magicians.

  Anyways, focus on the now. D3 may/will come some day, but that's 
a long ways off. Course if you plan early for certain things that 
will change it does make going towards it easier with language 
design, or give you more time to think about faults and fixes.
