Actually release download is a horrible counte and always has been.
It
is worse than no data at all because it is always incredibly overly
optimistic. Too many people set up (for i in true; do wget
http://getfedora.org > /dev/null) type things because they think it
helps us in some strange way. We have better numbers on post release
usage from dnf and other daily tools. Not perfect but probably within
an order of magnitude. [If we went by release iso download numbers it
would like some releases we should have hundreds of millions of
users.
That is clearly not the case in other traffic.] The dnf/yum numbers
are limited though because it only shows up in non-metered internet
places. Most of South America, Asia and large portions of Europe seem
to have metered connections and you instead end up with snapshots of
usage because it is too expensive to stay on the daily updates tree.
Not a way to follow IMO; because of things you are saying and also for
the several variable could happen as well.

I am working on getting statistics more out of the infrastructure
logs
so that they can be more visible than Matt's slides. It is my desire
to have a solution by Feb of next year. The main issues is that I am
wanting to make sure that I don't violate basic privacy concerns.
Then
it is also a small part of my job os progress comes in fits and
starts.
In my opinion this is a marketing strategy: starting.
We can always have a more accurate tuning along the way.
Thanks
