Only trust the statistics you make up yourself. ;-)

Yes, it'd be misleading, but it'd be closer to reality than not, and
more data than we have currently. I'd be in favor of that +
implementing the Popcon feature + being a little more emphatic about
collecting Smolt data.

The more information we have about installed packages, etc., the
better to make decisions.

Count me in there. I install multiple DE's on most machines as a
matter of course. This machine has KDE 4.3 and GNOME and Xfce. My
laptop for travel has KDE & GNOME. My netbook has (right now) Moblin.

Best,
