This is going to be skewed to some extent because someone using pkgsrc
is probably not starting from scratch. A dports user will be
downloading everything, and a pkgsrc user will just be downloading
upgrades. Also, a pkgsrc user is very likely to be using
pkg_rolling-replace or something similar to upgrade, which wouldn't
show. Or they might just not have upgraded yet.
So, these numbers are accurate - for new users, not the existing base.
That doesn't necessarily change the conclusions to draw from it - I'm
very interested to see the numbers over the next few months...
