Ok, so let's quantify the view of sysadmins somehow. This can actually be done in a meaningful way: let's count posts on places where technically-minded folks gather. There's plenty of minor blogs that are biased, but let's choose big sites where we can have a reasonable chance of being unbiased. I chose Slashdot and it's fork, SoylentNews.
