Re: Same old, same old

Many of the usage stats are gathered using javascript linked to from self-selected site. There is nothing random about which sites use particular stat services, there is nothing random about which users visit which sites, there is nothing random about which users block javascript and/or monitoring sites.
It may be useful to look at which users of a particular OS upgrade [sic] to a new version because those users are likely to continue to visit the same sites and use the same add-ons. It is unlikely to give any meaningful information about different OS usage because those users will visit different sites and may block in different ways.
For example: my machines will not be in _any_ of those stats.
