This is going to be skewed to some extent because someone using pkgsrc
is probably not starting from scratch.  A dports user will be
downloading everything, and a pkgsrc user will just be downloading
upgrades.  Also, a pkgsrc user is very likely to be using
pkg_rolling-replace or something similar to upgrade, which wouldn't
show.  Or they might just not have upgraded yet.

So, these numbers are accurate - for new users, not the existing base.
 That doesn't necessarily change the conclusions to draw from it - I'm
very interested to see the numbers over the next few months...
