Screenshot of a pie chart with data labels and 100 slices

When a pie chart has a high number of slices with a skewed distribution (e.g. 100 slices, but with 4-5 big slices covering most of the pie), our "strategy" for rendering outer data labels and their callouts - fails; see screenshot.

At some point we should start either dropping the callouts, or grouping, or saying ... , or something.
