I would have thought that how much use the mirrors get is more valuable information. That lets you know how much people want the updates (they bother, or don't bother to update), and how much resources you, therefore, need to pour into providing the service. There isn't going to be any way that you could know how many installations were made. That sort of statistical analysis is always going to be significantly wrong. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
