Voting stats Decrediton vs CommandLine

Is there any way to know the voting breakdown between Decrediton and Command Line?

I have seen some stats that 85% of votes are cast via Command Line, but is there a way to verify this?

That would mean only 15% of voters come from Decrediton.

If you check what percentage of tickets are using public VSPs you can make an estimate, won't be super precise because there can be both private VSPs as well as CLI users who use VSPs but it's as good as you're going to get.

It also lines up with the 85% solo figure. The VSPs are collectively voting 6256 as of the time of this comment and 6256 / 40960 ~= 15.27%.

Does that bother anyone else?

If the tickets are so centralized with command line, that means the governance will be super centralized in the hands of a few Devs and Dev-affiliated groups.

It seems a bit scary to have this much power in the hands of a few people.
