We already provide Gluster RPMs in many different distributions. For all
I know, we do not have access to statistics from most of them. Just to
list the ones that I can think of immediately: Fedora, CentOS Storage
SIG, Debian, Ubuntu LaunchPad, Arch, NetBSD port, FreeBSD port.

And then there are several cloud providers with their own caching
proxies and internal mirrors...

How accurate could our download statistics be?
