There's a very big difference between "2/3 of all enterprises" (press release) and "a 2/3 market share in self-hosted Git providers" (glutamate, above).

I've been a fan of GitLab's for quite a while (mostly due to your transparency; I just created an account a few weeks ago to try it out) but -- unless you are claiming that GitLab is being used by two-thirds of "all enterprises" -- this is very misleading, IMO.

And even that is a total pulled out of the ass claim. At most it could be "who responded to our survey"

It would take a lot less than 2/3 to have a representative sample, fwiw

They're an unconnected user referencing Kellyanne Conway, I'm fairly sure.

In that case, my apologies to GitLab. I assumed from the comment ("our media contact") that this was a GitLab employee. Thanks.
