It doesn't even scale up to XFree86. *Every time* someone talks to me in person about XFree86, I expect they want my help with a problem, or they want to complain. The exceptions, comprising about 10% of personal feedback, are: 1) "Why isn't XFree86 4.3.0 in woody?" 2) questions about what I think about the flamewar of the day (Keith Packard, Xouvert, etc.) 3) "Good job!" (okay, okay, I admit, this only about 0.0001% of all feedback) -- G.
