On the other hand, it would be relatively easy to determine the number of CentOS users, or CentOS machines, in various categories. For some reason both CentOS and Fedora seem to shy away from gathering this kind of information, or indeed any information from users.
I'm interested in any suggestions for how to do this in a "relatively easy" way. Traditionally, Fedora users have been very wary of any opt-out metrics-gathering. So, that leaves either reach-out information seeking (which is valuable but expensive, hard, and time-consuming) or else self-selected feedback, which when not done carefully can be _worse_ than nothing.
And when I say I'm interested in suggestions, that's not a rhetorical flourish. I mean it. :)
