This would be cool! Maybe even FPC itself could create these statistics.
Something like this with really big numbers (after aggregating all
users) would look quite impressive:

I have to say that I don't know how to write this sort of thing, either
from the point of view of Lazarus or from the point of view of making it
acceptable to users rather than looking like intrusive spyware.

If we had a "check for updates" feature that would give much of the desired information and most users would not see that an intrusive spyware action. Of course such feature is not easy to implement and it had to be really useful, like being able to upgrade "in place".
