A recent (October 2008) survey of a famous 4-letter financial firm
showed that about 5% of the >200 developers who responded were using
Emacs 19 variants (including Lucid Emacs 19.6 and Emacs 19.8 IIRC),
and there were more than 1% using Emacs 18.

I think it's quite possible that he has such users.
