    Yeah unfortunately these numbers don’t really allow any conclusions to be drawn at all.

    Also they’re not really related to supply chain security which is more about deliberate subterfuge. I think the interesting stat there would be how many authors are being trusted typically for each crate.

      I have the feeling that this wasn’t even done properly (e.g. checking default versions only). Using downloads alone is also not a good filter.

      I may give this some time tomorrow and provide my own numbers.
