The problem with the smolt numbers is that anyone doing kickstarts,

start
to seed people now, get the word out about smolt, and start
monitoring
upgrades from F7 to F8 and so on.
What happens in the case that the network stuff isn't up when smolt runs
during startup? Did it end up being able to wait for the network and
queue it for later? I'm a little surprised that the number of units
that we have is as small as it is, and how few of them are laptops. Or
maybe it's just that our support for laptops is so bad that no one is
bothering anymore. :)
Would be nice to move smolt out of just the firstboot and do some user
surveys as well, but I guess we haven't speced that out and haven't had
time to do the work to make that happen.
