The majority of people watching that particular feed are tech
journalists.  The only sampling of people we could sanely retrieve
would be the sense of what interviewers were asking as a result of
those blogs in the final days of the Fedora 10 press push.  Our
feature list is documented on a specific page and we directed
journalists there as well as part of our outreach with the Live USB
keys.  On the whole they all seemed to get it, which would make this
article an anomaly.
