I imagine we have stats for downloads from www.postgresql.org,
but it's been many years since we thought those were complete
or even representative.

I download one set of RPMs (PG 14.19, for example) and then scp them to 15 different servers.  One set of PG 17.6 binaries gets copied to 30 different servers.
