Some 50 messages later... and stopping by Ben's question about which are the questions we should ask.

Thanks for all input on this thread! I have tried to summarize it at [1]. A tentative Executive Summary:

We will probably not get useful absolute numbers. However, relative numbers and trends should be both possible and useful.

Privacy concerns blocks collecting of otherwise useful info. Based on this, I have more or less limited the questions to what can be deduced from installed software and yum/dnf logs.

Q: How much are products and spins are actually used?
Q: How is the package I created actually used?
Q  Which package does users prefer?
Q: Which non-Fedora packages does users need to install?
Q: How are packages updated?
Q: How many users uses platform X/architecture Y?
