Well only 1.56% knows about zeroinstall, so probably < 1% actually uses it.

Maybe the 'not a standard' argument was not a good one, but you still
have to agree with me dropping a zero install url on a launcher is not
a good wait to install applications.
I've no problems supporting other projects, but the launcher is not
the right place to implement zeroinstall.
