Well, this is problematic, too. Firstly, all months are not equal, e.g.,
every March and October usage of NetBeans is higher than other months
(probably connected to academic years), and secondly, downloads do not
equal active users (three pings to plugin infrastructure equals an active
user, i.e., starts of NetBeans.

Let’s leave this whole survey discussion now. It’s clear surveys suck and
every year we’ve been getting further in making this point.
