Certainly plausible.  I guess it depends on how one discusses it.

"Whaddya mean, no one uses it?  How 'bout them IBM network computers that
 were using /i386?"

"Well, I dunno if it's reliable enough for you.  Is 'NASA sends it into space'
 reliable enough for you?"

Contrast with submitting to slashdot "IBM STEALS NETBSD'S EL1TE CODE SECRETZ!"

(Of course, this may not be the best time to talk about "NASA sends it into
space" when talking to people with short memories and no real comprehension of
the issues.)
