The data here was supposed to be end-of-lifed before F40 as it was to be
replaced with a different tool. The scripts are a POC which became
production years and years ago. Most of the work is done by a basic awk
script which goes through the data logs and counts the number of times a
particular release shows up once per ip address. Every release the awk and
gnuplot scripts need to be tweaked to deal with the slightly different
release names which show up. In 2019 or so, a newer tool was built which
does a better job of counting usages via the countme tooling.

In 2022, I ran out of time to work on Fedora Infrastructure so I tried to
'futureproof' the data by having it read to count releases for a while. At
the time I thought graphs would be made from the data at
https://data-analysis.fedoraproject.org/csv-reports/countme/ and my older
gnuplot stuff would go away. Like most things in systems administration,
unless there is a dedicated person actually doing the work, it will get put
on the back burner to the daily crisis.
