sequences in NR between May 2000 to May 2003, and it's shown in Figure 2 of this
New Generation Computing paper. Unfortunately I can't find the raw numbers, and
don't have anything more recent after that.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

archive of the major releases, one can probably do a quick count from that.
I know we haven't kept a record of it except for the most recent
version.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
