The issue of which spins/editions are promoted is orthogonal to the
issue of counting. After all, counting just reflects the actual
frequency of installations, not the reasons for it.

But counting may provide a fresh look at this issue. We'll have much
better data which spins/editions are used. If it turns out that KDE is
more popular than previous statistics showed, or that KDE has a higher
retention rate (the number of short-lived installations is low
suggesting that users "like it if they see it"), this would be a
strong argument to make the KDE spin more visible.
