Year	Number of changes on blead

2005	2393
2004	1175
2003	2489
2002	3577
2001	4605
2000	2539
1999	1062
1998	1131

Gah. There were more than double the changes in 2005 than in 2004.
No wonder I'm having fun keeping up.

What came as a surprise is that even in the quiet year of 2004 there was
more activity than back in 1998 or 1999. This is not what I'd expected, given
the size of the monthly p5p mboxes archived on xray:

  http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/

(To get the change numbers I used
  p4 changes //depot/perl | grep -c ' on 2005/'
so there is a possibility of errors if the first part of the description
matches)
