You haven't raised any issues. You just asked for a couple numbers.
John Horne specifically asked about the issues behind your request, a question that you've so far declined to answer.
There are a many possible reasons to ask about the number of CentOS installations and the scope of its user base. Since the numbers themselves are fairly impossible to produce, it might be worth your while to let the rest of us know the concerns prompting your request. It may be that there are ways to address those concerns in ways that don't involve unavailable data.
