Agreed. Maybe some other knowledge, such as how many other (active)
packages depend on it, or how often it is still downloaded, can help to
get a robust automatic measure.
How many total downloads would be nice as well. In RubyGems there are
often similar packages and it can be hard to choose which to use. Example:
* bootstrap-will_paginate. 257 475 downloads
* will_paginate-bootstrap. 84 776 downloads
Obviously I'm going to choose the one with most downloads, if there are
any critical differences.
