Just out of curiosity: Do we have any data or half-decent estimates on what
rough percentage of current Sugar users are working in ad-hoc mode vs.
infrastructure mode?

That could help inform this decision, especially in terms of whether we
might need one or two different ways to do this (e.g. trying to send the
files sequentially vs. in parallel while in ad-hoc mode might be an option).

Cheers,
