I'm looking at the numbers I have. From the release of Fedora 21 until F22 release, 23% of all ISO "pings" are for i686. (Less than 1% are ARM.) From F23 release to Flock, it's 20% (and 1.5% for ARM — almost 5× growth.) I don't remember right off where 15% came from. (Maybe I had a different breakdown? I honestly don't remember right now.) (I'd bug Smooge for different slicing and updated numbers, but he's busy doing datacenter stuff this week and I've already overbugged him.) And I say "pings" rather than downloads because we're counting top-level mirror requests, not the actual downloads, so SO MANY DINOSAURS are involved in this number. The 15% 32-bit comes from a different data source: package update connections (again, pings, really). One explanation for the discrepancy may be that people who have less powerful systems and therefore want i686 are less likely to be regularly connected to the Internet for updates. But that's just guesswork. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
