make mpstats a depends run on legacysupport?

I kind of expected that response :)

How about a message in the legacysupport notes field at least, encouraging users to install mpstats if they want older systems support to be ongoing? 

I'd be willing to tolerate some statistical imperfections to get some better numbers about how to spend my time.

One could argue the 94 cutting edge macports developers who are the ones who probably have it installed now is a pretty skewed sample too :)

About 600 people have forked our repo; making a rash assumption that they'd be the likely mpstats installers, then even in that group, we're barely getting 15% buy-in...

If it's true that MacPorts releases are installed on over 300,000 systems, which was a nice number to hear btw, our mpstats sample size of <100 is very disappointing...

Is there any encouragement that would be acceptable?
