Recall that there were over 1 million Debian systems used as web servers alone in 2005. Hmm, if I take that number from netcraft and compare it to the popcon of the time, which showed 3000 apache + 1000 apache2, it looks like maybe 1 in 250 systems ran popcon in 2005. That sounds approximately right, but we won't know what the numbers are like for etch unless netcraft releases another survey. Since there were around 10000 apache+apache2 installs reported in popcon before etch released, I'd guess we had at least 2.5 million web servers then. > This is a wild extrapolation, so the number is pretty unreliable, > especially the usage of popcon is too small to be significant; A worse problem shows up if you look at the popcon graph for apt-listbugs and compare it to the general popcon graph. While the number of popcon users has increased by about 1/3 since etch released, there is negligible change in the number of apt-listbugs installations reported in popcon. The 30000 apt-listbugs users you're seeing in your logs could all be users who installed it before etch was released. Probably not entirely the case, but I see little in the numbers to say otherwise, unless you also have some numbers for how many were using it before etch release? -- see shy jo
