I agree.  Although It is nice to see the CUSTOS is getting some use, it 
does make it look like no one is using X.500.  Maybe something as simple 
as adding a summary of the DSA stats would be useful.  I would also like 
to see the total number of organizations in the pilot (hopefully a number 
that keeps getting bigger!).

On a related issue, some time ago we talked about adding a set of 
attributes for counting the DIT.  Maybe this is worth discussing again.
