Is "active accounts" cla+1 ? or just anything with any account thats
not marked inactive? cla+1 is easy to get by just going to fedorapeople
and running a 'getent passwd | wc -l' I think.

That might be nice... see how and which groups are growing at what
rate.

Yeah, I can't think it would be too hard to dump out number of people
in each group once a month or week or something.
Can anyone think of a reason that information should be private?
I can't off hand.
The sheer counts seem fine - provided no group membership data is dumped
or other location-base information, I think it's probably fine.
there are a number of standard sort of queries that would probably
benefit from running regularly.
