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. Nowadays we assume that most people
consume Postgres via binary packages built by third parties
(e.g. Linux distros). Of course, we have zero visibility into
the download stats for those.

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.
