No it does not. You claimed that the packages did not show up as being installed in popcon. That is not true. Only one package above actually has binaries; the usage statistics are not collected for docs, but as you can plainly see, the installation statistics are. > > The results do show that these packages are installed.

No, it's not. I show that 3% installed ocaml-doc. You have even quoted that figure. My data was based on percentage and decimal places truncated; therefore, for the packages that had less than 1% use, it will rightly show up as 0%; not that the difference was significant, and you did have packages with greater than 1% use. -- John
