No, I understand your proposing some sort of survey.  I just don't think
that's likely to yield as good a result as looking at release dates and
what the distributions are doing.  We don't have any way of contacting all

It would be fine to ask on the list if C99 is going to be a huge issue for
anyone, but that seems like about the best we can do.
