Joe,
When looking at stackalytics [2] for each project, we don't see any

I can't agree on this.
*) Rally is facing core-reviewers bottleneck currently.
We have about 130 (40 at the begging on kilo) patches on review.
*) In IRC +15 online members in average
*) We merged about x2 if we compare to kilo-1 vs liberty-1
*) I see a lot of interest from various companies to use Rally (because it
is *official* now)
Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
