    Data on the number of releases comes from ecosyste.ms which was very convenient to do this while comparing with other packages outside PyPI. For what it’s worth, Rails is at 510 on…

    it’s my 1st attempt at reporting on CI downloads specifically. Interpreting this is more of an art than a science, I’d love to hear if others have ideas on what to do with this dat…
