A survey of packages in Ubuntu and Fedora repositories looking at the use (and abuse) of assembly code. A few key take away points are most packages don't use assembly and of those that do, there's quite often better ways of doing it. Most importantly you shouldn't be copy-pasting assembly code if you don't know what it does, and you shouldn't be bundling libraries with your software!
