I visit a couple of Linux forums, and while the word "DragonFly" surely
seems to have picked up some usage in the recent months, I also hear that
they go somewhere else after a brief experience setting it up. Majority of
these people seem try DragonFly because of HAMMER and their aim is to
setup a "backup" box.
