The count is likely misleading since there is a bug in Fedora 8 that 
causes firstboot to not show up in some instances when the network is 
down and Smolt server itself was running into some issues for a while 
but yes, promoting Smolt would be a critical factor for the success of 
not just Fedora but the Linux community on the whole. The potentials are 
growing steadily.
