500 Java programmers? Lisp programmers? Bus drivers?
Swedes? Indonesians? Boy scouts? Born 1940? Born 1970?
2005?

I think you get my idea: and if you want a good cross-section
you'll need *far* more than 500. This is something Apple or
Microsoft do, for sure, but they can afford to dump 'couple of
millions on it for each OS release -- and still get wrong, if
you go by the whining a Windows release causes (remember
ribbon?). Luckily I can only tell that from hearsay :)

Still I think you're onto something here: perhaps it'd be
possible to have some "best of": organize some "theme contest"
(I'm using theme sloppily here, just as a set of customizations)
and tout the n "winners" for some small n (because I guess that
the distribution is going to be strongly multi modal)

How would that be different from what we have now?

BTW: I'm off the net for a couple of months, so I'm dropping
now off this interesting conversation quite abruptly. Sorry.
