I do not think that user would be that much interesting in 
having/knowing the top 1000 software used...
By doing this that would influence them, and oriented them to the most 
used one... better stay in another famous and world well known 
proprietary software that almost every one use...

But I do think that I would like to have this information for the 
package I maintain !
Nowadays as packager the only feed back that told me that my packages 
are used is basically bugzilla, which mean that if I have packaged a 
good software that runs without problem I have no idea whether I have 
worked for myself or if other people are actually using it.

In brief:
* I do not want/need these information for all the packages as a user
* I want these information for my packages as I am a packager.

Hope it makes sense :)
