Well even if its under-counted it can't possibly be more than a million. If its over-counted its still low usage.

Red Hat discloses RHEL roadmap (TechTarget)

Maybe but I think you missed the point which is that these numbers are quite fuzzy and as I have noted in another post, mirror manager changes could very well explain the difference. Infrastructure knew that these were fuzzy numbers and Fedora Board asked Legal if a yum feature that enabled more accurate tracking could be enabled by default and the answer was that, it was risky due to international privacy laws and it was a costly process to quantify that risk and Fedora as a project decided we didn't want to do that. Even assuming that there is a significant change in these numbers, it is pretty hard to pinpoint the reason for that. Fedora as a distribution certainly doesn't try to judge usage by these numbers. Fedora project is planning to run a survey shortly which might help provide some answers.
