The mascot doesn't really help with adoption of the format.




No one cares about their mascot that much, of course. Say hi to Fred and George!

I mean... Its even in the FAQ. It's a question people care to ask.


> Eight years ago

Kind of proves my point. Someone asked a question 8 years ago, that doesn't look like something that has any effect on adoption really.


When you put it in the FAQ, it's an admission that it's frequently asked, and it kinda preempts any subsequent record of curiosity.

The complaint, today, is it doesn't have much adoption.

So the question always being around kinda does suggest there's difficulty.

Unless it's somehow become widely used?
