That's a different thing, and not what the original statement, which I
commented on, said.

I've never said that ARM has a bigger Debian user-base than AMD64 (hell,
how would I possibly know that?) I just corrected an obviously
incorrect statement. And as for popcon, I don't install it on low-end
systems, since I try to keep them free from non-essential things.
popcon might provide useful information to the Debian project, but on a
system where I have limited diskspace, limited memory, and limited
Internet connectivity, I'm saving the resources for other, more
essential things. Of course I might be totally unique in this
matter, but I kind of have a feeling that I'm not =)
