The only problem then becomes people like me who use sup to get the
entire pkgsrc tree on a weekly basis..  What wouuld that do to the
stats?  Did I download an install all of the packages?  When the
packages themselves are made, the sources are downloaded from their home
ftp sites, not ftp.netbsd.org, so you would have no idea if/when I
installed something.

If all of the packages themselves were kept on the NetBSD mirrors and
then the logs analyzed, it might make sense..  In any case, it doesn't
give any info about the os version/hardware ..
