It would be much smarter PR-wise to package the klive (klive.org) client in Fedora Core and advertise it. Sure it won't give an exact user count but :
1. the counting infrastructure is not @redhat, but at a neutral third-party
2. the data gathered can actually be useful to the community at large
3. it's opt-in
4. who cares if a percentage of users slips through ? It'll still give a reasonable order of magnitude

The counting mechanism lives on fedoraproject.org

That's a machine donated by dell and living in a server room at duke university.

I'm not sure how much less 'at red hat' you can get.
