Who has NOT had to replace their CSC on 6MT?

With all the stories about folks having their clutch pedal go to the floor and the resulting bad CSC diagnosis....I'm curious as to another view: How many of you have 6MT and have NOT had to replace their clutch slave cylinder? Please indicate your year and mileage.
I've got an '08 and about 31k miles and mine is going fine....am just curious as to the odds here...it would be reassuring if lots of you haven't actually had to replace it yet.

2011 36k miles. CSC is fine.. syncros are not. I think you have to get a more agressive clutch to cause the failure. I know that it helps it along atleast.

08 G37s 17k still holding up, I did do a clutch fluid flush 100 miles ago and replaced with Motul RB660 because my pedal was acting up when cold. The difference in pedal feel was great! Air did come out while flushing plus the old fluid was NASTY!

BTW dont know about you guys but I find this car really hard to drive smoothly in terms of the clutch engagement pretty jerky. WHat about you guys?

08 w/40k miles, mine was good but replaced it anyway when I did the TT kit & clutch. The OEM one is plastic is it's downfall, if you're ever in there for any reason, it's worth changing it out for peace of mind.

08 with 52k miles. Mine is fine.

However, I am planning on replacing the clutch all surrounding components in the spring.

2008, 41k. I think if I make it to 50k without failing I will have it and the clutch replaced.

'13... around 20K miles, no issues.

Is that true that it results from aftermarket clutches? Or does the problem also occur with OEM clutches? Because I was thinking about going aftermarket when the time comes to replace mine...
