You are correct. On this thread, I haven't raised any issues; I've simply asked for some headline numbers: total installed base of servers, and the total number of subscribers to this list. It's just to get a sense of size.
Conversely and as an example of the type of request that I am making, Fedoraproject gives you the number of times the different spins have been downloaded; the NY Times give you a ranking of articles that have been most emailed, most viewed, and the like.
I have no idea how many 1000s of centos installs there are around the world at my employer's sites, but I can almost guarantee you its 100s of times more than the download counts. many of these installs use internal yum repositories for updates, so access counts on the public yum mirrors would be of little use either.
