Having talked to many of the same people at large mail providers that Dave 
has, and also done some policy work for more than one of them* I have to 
agree.  Google has on the order of a billion mail users, and the other 
large providers have hundreds of millions.  The idea that they would weigh 
those users against at most a few thousand people doing Linux or the IETF 
just isn't plausible.

R's,
John
