Which is the most common revision of "Street Fighter II"?

To all the people who also have to do with actual arcade boards:
What would you say is the most common revision of the original "Street Fighter II - The World Warrior"?
The game has various revisions (910206, 910214 etc., in MAME sf2ua, sf2ub etc.).
Which one of them is the most common revision, the one that is located in most of the arcades?
By the way, I'm not talking about "Champion Edition" or "Hyper Fighting". I'm merely talking about the plain "Street Fighter II - The World Warrior" and its various builds.
It would be really great if you could help me with this issue.

Nobody knows the answer to this. You would have to catalog every loose board out there.

Yeah, exactly. You cannot give an approximate answer. You have to track down every single board to be able to make any statement about it. Sure. Because the reason I know that the PRG1 version of "The Legend of Zelda" is more common than the PRG0 version is only because I owned every single cartridge ever produced.

There were way more versions of Street Fighter made. You will never get a correct answer to your question.

Yes, I know that there are more revisions for SF2 than for LoZ. And? I'm not talking about detailing the numbers of each revision, just about which one is the most common in general. So, let's say the "Golden Age" of SF2 was with revision B. Then it doesn't matter if there are 10, 20 or 100 further sporadic revisions. Revision B would still be the the most common one since there would be more B revisions than, say, F revisions. So, if you ask 20 people what revision number they encountered and seven people say the number for B while 13 say any version from C to L, then B would most likely be the most common version.

I've been hunting pcbs on ebay since 2001 and the revisions are random. Even if you got all the SF2 collectors on a board like Klov to note their collection, your sample pool would still be too small for accuracy. From your example you would be asking 20 people and tens of thousands of the boards were made. But you aren't even doing that, you are asking here. For mame users not even 1 in 1,000 have ever even seen an arcade pcb in real life. Nobody knows what they played in arcades either because they never saw the boot screen. Someone could give you an educated guess but a percentage of it would be talking out of their ass.

O.k. I was hoping that it might be a bit more definite.
Another question: In regards to MAME, what has become of the "two days older than the oldest known revision" revision?

You would need to show me where I wrote that so I could look at board pics / info to track it down.

I assumed he's referring to this thread.

In which case we should be asking DaRayu what happened to it.
