Well, it is, but it looks like it's also a narrow perspective that doesn't
necessarily dominates. I'll just say, I'd love to have access to the same
statistics for my packages just so I get a good clear data on what's going
on. Like, are people in China using my stuff? That's cool, maybe I'll try
and connect with them. You know, whatever... Many libraries are from the
extended libraries, are people still relying on them to keep some old
patches alive? Are people being able to follow and adopt new stuff?

We got a good picture on "all externals", but I bet developers would like
to see what's really the case for specific packages... and that is a
concern that comes before comparing between each other to see "who wins the
most number of likes content".

cheers
