3-4? Would you mind calculating how many users that would be and how many 
users openSUSE would have as a consequence in total? I think that it will show 
you quite clearly that your claim does not make sense. Especially since the 
core packages of kde3 are already more than 3-4.

All I did was to assume that there is a relation between the number of 
packages available and the number of downloads which should be pretty obvious 
to you.

Since you have at most as little idea of how they relate as I do, either do 
not use them to prove how popular a project is or do at least provide some 
approach on how they can be put into sensible numbers. Disregarding the number 
of packages in a repo is untrustworthy for sure.
