I understood those statistics to mean that 1066 people use
ecryptfs-utils regularly and 630 use encfs regularly (giving
ecryptfs-utils more regular users than encfs by a relatively large
margin---nearly the double). The 1.14%/>1% metric you mentioned to
illustrate your point seemed to me therefore to be a little misleading.
