Stats regarding Arch64 adoption?
I'm wondering if there's any way to gauge, from download statistics of installation images and package repositories, the degree to which Arch users have converted to Arch64.
Since Arch users are usually pretty good about keeping their systems updated, I'm thinking that we might be able to see what percentage of downloads are for Arch64 as opposed to Arch32.
Does anybody know anything about this? Or is the mirror system too decentralized to be able to gather stats like this?

The pkgstats results have (probably a bit biased in some way) information on your question: http://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics

From pkgstats, around 26% use x86_64.

Re: Stats regarding Arch64 adoption?
@Allan & pressh: Thanks. Very interesting page. I'm a little confused, though. What does package "submissions" indicate? I would have thought that submissions means packages that have been built and made available on the repos.

Re: Stats regarding Arch64 adoption?
submissions means the number of time that users ran the pkgstats script in total.
