I don't think we have e.g. any survey data or such. But from looking at the Tor versions which relays run and after feedback from operators that got back to us I think a really large part of this problems stems from Linux distributions not keeping up with our releases. Ubuntu is well-known for this issue but certainly not the only distribution worth mentioning here. The solution for that is our own repository for Debian-based systems and packages made by volunteers for, say, RPM-based systems. Or, if there is nothing of that applicable, compiling from source (which is, granted, not the best solution, though).
