Cool stuff, but doesn't quite get the "big picture" I'm going for. The
most useful data here (as I said elsewhere) would be joining skin
choice on user_touched as an indicator of activity, and aggregating
those totals per-wiki--maybe in per-year buckets.
Beware of user_touched; it's also triggered when _other_ people do things,
like editing your talk page, or bulk operations like a batch change of some
other user preference.
user_touched could be current on an account that hasn't logged in in years.
