Suppose you are a reader of a specific mailing list. Someone asked
"which is better: 1.2 or 1.4".

Naturally the sample size you get is very small: only a handful of the
large body of Asterisk users actually naswered it.

I was windering if it is also skewed in any way. In fact, I pointed out
one wat it can be.

For instance, following the same logic, I'd say that Asterisk 1.0 is
more stable than 1.2, as people have been using it for much longer in
production. Nobody has been using an 1.2 PBX in production for more
than, say, three years and 1.0 has been used for longer than that. So
1.0 must be more stable. Admins still using it mut probably swear by it.

But most people (at least those who have had problem, including
stability problems) with 1.0, ahve already migrated to 1.2 or 1.4, and
now swear (by?) 1.2 or 1.4.

Cheers,
