is there a way to get rpm usage stats from those unmaintained packages.
No. We can only get download stats from mirrors. While it may be biased toward
some geographical preference ( ie, I doubt many people download locale-zh
from distrib-coffee ), it can give at least some ideas. Nothing precise, but
still better than random.
If the package in question is on an ISO, we can only speculate if it was
installed from the ISO.
So we would have individual downloads + possibly any/all ISOs (one or
more times).
they really do so, it's kind of their own fault. i don't think the majority
does that. the majority leaves it at default.
And so the majority will say "$distro is bad because there is not enough
software".
Exactly. So sense hiding officially non-maintained packages. Many work
perfectly well. And for those that don't, resulting bug reports could
result in them being fixed.
