I know this is sort of a bogus stat, but has anyone considered
graphing this growth against the growth of debian and opensuse? One of
the big criticisms of fedora/RH was always that, compared to debian
and suse, there were many fewer centrally packaged programs which
could be relied upon to cleanly install and run, so it seems like
showing that Fedora is growing in this respect would be a nice
marketing point.
