Is there a way to get the whole database ? Would be cool if we could play with the raw statistics from pkgstat ;)
Not all users submit stats so unless Arch installs spyware on everyone's system or pools download stats from the mirrors, those states are not sufficient to motivate removals.
I agree. We have a rule for not letting packages enter community which have less than 10 votes _or_ less than 1 percent usage in pkgstats. There were good reasons to have this decision be based on two sources. If we want to enforce removal of packages that do fulfil one of these conditions, we need at least another proposal with a discussion and a voting period afterwards. And I would be against it.
