I count seven people using the dash interface:

  equal-rites% pwd
  /afs/athena.mit.edu/user
  equal-rites% ls */*/*/.athena_dash_interface > /tmp/out
  equal-rites% wc -l /tmp/out
        7 /tmp/out
  equal-rites% ls other/*/.athena_dash_interface
  ls: No match.

Four of the seven are IS staff in Athena-related groups; the other
three are listed as undergrads in mitdir (two of them seniors, the
other indeterminate).

There may be others who either have non-world-listable homedirs, or
are using the environment variable instead of the dotfile, or are
setting the login option each time.  But it sounds like the customer
base for dash is in the single or low double digits.
