Maybe we can't "know" that number, but I think we can at least assess whether it's still popular or not by answering some downstream questions:

- For each package, how long does it take to build?

- For each package, how many times was it fetched by month?

That right there will at least tell us a rough lower barrier of the time the community was saved.

- Are those numbers steadily going down?

- How far along the tail of the distribution are we?

It's far from accurate, but when compared across architectures we can probably make some sort of reasonable assessment about the general impact of no longer supporting armv6, which is better than throwing up our arms (pun very much intended) and saying it's impossible to know.
