Why do the numbers need to be standardized?  Could we give browsers
the ability to change the value in response to their understanding of
the current situation.

Surely an Android device is easily identifiable as such, so we could
choose values that reflect our Android population at the current
moment and we could choose numbers so that no bucket is too small.  We
could say that the number is decimal, that it needs to be at least the
identified value, and have a <X special case for the smallest bucket.

Based on the numbers Chris points at, we could maybe choose to report
<2, 2, 4, and 8 and get at least 20% on all other than the <2 (that
one is hard, <3 and 3 is probably better in a sense, though both of
those is a little lower than is ideal).
