That's a very good point - to get usable data, popcon.ubuntu.com would
have to offer raw results by version. For example, we would need to
download the raw data for Karmic alpha/beta versions, and for the Karmic
final version. Then we could subtract one from the other to get
approximate results for non-beta users.
That would pose some minor privacy issues, and would take a bit more
work (which I'll happily volunteer to do), but I still think the
benefits would far outweigh the costs.
