Let me just cut this out.
How about if we started a seperate thread, asking users to support us by 
giving us info through ledger.
41 machines and over 40 devs with some more than one machine does not look 
like it's a widely installed tool amongst users.
I understand it's optional. With the community being so small, we might get 
more support from users than gentoo got when they tried to collect statistics.
The culprit there was it was a private project, privately hosted, not a 
gentoo hosted project, since ledger is our project, the point should never be 
an issue here.
Question is how many users know they could help us through ledger?
The more know, the more can decide for themselves to help us out, and in the 
long run reap the benefits by time being spent on what they use, and we all 
win.
