Well, I'll let Mike comment on this (again), but smolt does have a fairly low
penetration among systems that are running in runlevel 3.  This is for the
reasons noted above - a kickstart installation will never run firstboot,
therefore the user will never be given an opportunity to enable smolt, and as of
right now in rawhide, there is no firstboot TUI anyway, so we can't even enable
it there.  Those that have enabled however, as noted, have also enabled the
monthly checkin, therefore any changes to those systems would be reflected at
the first of the month.  My personal guess is that very few server installations
of Fedroa will ever be installed in a graphical mode to enable smolt.

I'm tempted to close this NOTABUG since it's really a fundamental design
limitation of smolt, but I'll let Mike make that call.  I believe that the
latest numbers that I've seen indicate that smolt is only actually enabled on
about 10% of systems - but don't quote me on that one :)
