What is the most supported MIME type in Debian in 2018?
Five years ago, I measured what the most supported MIME type in Debian was, by analysing the desktop files in all packages in the archive.

Shared-Mode Executables in L4Re for MIPS-Based Devices
I have been meaning to write about my device driver experiments with L4Re, following on from my porting exercises, but that exercise took me along various routes and I haven’t yet got back to documenting all of them. Meanwhile, one thing that did start to bother me was how much space the software was taking up when compiled, linked and ready to deploy.
Since each of my device drivers is a separate program, and since each one may be linked to various libraries, they each started to contribute substantially to the size of the resulting file – the payload – needing to be transferred to the device. At one point, I had to resize the boot partition on the memory card used by the Letux 400 notebook computer to make the payload fit in the available space.
