The only number that means jack sh*t is Fedora head count.
I don't care about Windows users - no do I care about Slackware users
(that dropped GNOME long ago).
I can about Fedora users.
As such, the mailing list numbers seem to contradict your initial claim
("Evolution is useless for most users now. ") because as it stands, most
of people reading your post, are doing it using Evolution.

For me evolution works. Not great, but works.
If it doesn't work for you... it is your choice to remove it.
Don't take away my -right- to use Evolution, just because you're too
lazy to exercises yours. (To remove it)

If Fedora users were the mind-less-drones that you consider them to be,
they would be using Windows.
instead of Linux "Because it there by default"
The mere number of non-Evolution users combined with the mere number of
KMAIL and/or KDE users on this list makes your post look over simplified
and narrow-minded.
