 Alex Pankratov gave that 50% number on p2p-hackers in 2006.  Around the
 same time allmydata.com implemented UPnP in their proprietary product (the
 one that preceded Tahoe) and measured the success rate among allmydata.com
 customers.  Unfortunately I don't have or remember the numbers.  We should
 ask Jim McCoy and Rob Kinninmont if they have or remember the results.

 I assume that deployment and robustness of UPnP has improved since then.
 ;-)

 Because of foolscap's nice design of using multiple connection hints in
 parallel and requiring strong SSL authentication, a broken UPnP
 implementation suggesting a wrong IP address and port number wouldn't do
 any harm, right?
