I agree.
The fact that data comes from users who volontary installed the pkgstat 
package make the results biased.
The best 'statistical' way should be including this in pacman, whithout asking 
user for permission to submit. 
The best etical way shoud be the same, but asking user for permission before 
submitting anything.

Anyway, those results are really interesting !
