Thanks, Nick, but I'm also getting some numbers that don't make sense even after your explanation. For example, I have an extension* less than a week old which has 3.8K "weekly installs" yet 6.1K "users". Wouldn't a user need to install the extension before updating it, if the users are counted by update pings?
