No, and valuable != popular :)

Any popularity contest is going to be biased in some way. This is as good a bias as any other.

And let's leave completely out of focus that the bias that is needed for a package to enter the official repositories is the personal opinion of a TU or Dev. The rate recording is optimized to emphasize wide adoption trends, which to me appear completely spot-on. What aspect is missing there? cheers! mar77i
