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.
