Has anyone here analyzed download stats on py.org lately? Please feel free to prove me wrong, but by my reckoning, and at least for Windows MSI installer files, people are still downloading Python 2.X roughly 3 to 4 times more often than Python 3.X today, some 2 years after 3.X's release.

I don't think this is a fair comparison. At least not until 3.2 final is out for some time. Note that 2.7 is at the moment the latest stable release and 3.x releases so far have suffered from developers' attention divided between 2.x and 3.x series. I believe the trend will change with 3.2 release.
