So, how shall those users be counted?
Popcon is good in giving a lower boundary for the number of users, so if an arch has 50 machines reporting to popcon, it is sure to have passed the 50 user limit. I can imagine that for archs with less than 50 machines reporting to popcon it could be possible to have some kind of registration mechanism.
