Ah, OK.  I guess a 10% crash rate is hard to miss when you spend lots of 
your time triaging bug reports.  :-)
Jason Fletchall and I didn't know that Nautilus 2.14 had a bad 
reputation when we were producing this data, though it's pretty 
unmistakable when you look at the plots.  I'm glad to hear that our 
empirical data agrees with your informal sense of things.  That's one 
thing I hope we can contribute: empirical evidence to support/refute 
developers' intuitions about how apps are behaving in the field.
We welcome suggestions if you know of any other historical trends we 
should look at.  We've actually got about four years' worth of data, 
though most of our current plots don't go back that far.  And we can 
look into much more than just crash rates, since CBI instruments *lots* 
of different runtime code behaviors.
So ... what should we look at next?
