I don't think the numbers necessarily speak to the difficulty in upgrading (or switching). There are some people who won't switch until absolutely forced, and others who have new requirements or are just more liberal in making a change. I personally do not really see a lot of bad feedback about 2.2 to 2.4 migration. Maybe there would be a good perspective from e.g. one of the debian maintainers, because their users in some way would have been "forcibly" dragged though it to stay current on the OS.
