Nice. We kind of passed 2.6.5 without stopping.

You could write something that takes the statistics gatered by arlad and uses them to
set preferences. The statistics code is in arlad, the code that uses the statistics
for something useful is not written yet.

I have heard bad things about 2.6.{7,8} from all over. I'm a bit puzzled that
arla works on that. I'd upgrade to 2.6.9.
