Downloads by time chart
The downloads by version chart has some drawbacks:
- if an extension has no new releases over a long time, the download counter for the last version might be very high
- if the update frequency changes from seldom to often the chart might lead to the conclusion that the extension isn't requested that much.
For those searching for an extension it might be more useful to know, whether the general interest into an extension increased or decreased over time. It doesn't matter that much which version was downloaded.
A good example is the Solr extension. I assume that average download count didn't decrease that much!
