Just because it is popular doesn't mean it is right.
Often popularity is a good indicator of what is right.
I disagree. Often popularity is a good indicator of what is "easy". Usually doing something correctly takes more effort then get "getting it done".
Often does not equate to usually. Two "often" things in the same universe are not mutually exclusive. Getting it right may or may not "usually" take more effort. I've never seen stats on that subject, but it seems a bit like an application of the words "never" or "always" to me. Consider also Occam's Razor. Popular is something we like to have our favorite distro described as. Is openSUSE the most popular? Not according to stats I've seen. What does the most popular distro, and others that are highly popular do, and does that behavior contribute to their popularity? I would think that email support lists that predictably behave the way most users expect lists to behave would contribute to popularity. These top-10 that I am or have been on munge: *buntu-users, fedora*, mandriva*. I've never been on other top-10 except opensuse*, but my experience is thus 3-1 unweighted in favor of munging. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
