Hey Thomas, yes, I agree this dataset is really valuable (just looking at the sheer number of downloads [1] and requests for similar data we've received). I can see the value of making it more easily accessible via an API.
Ellery and I have been talking about the idea of – at the very least – scheduling the generation of new dumps, if not exposing the data programmatically. Right now, I am afraid this is not within my team's capacity and Analytics has a number of other high-priority areas to focus on. We were planning to talk to Joseph et al anyway and decide how to move forward (hi Joseph!), we'll report back on the lists as soon as this happens.
