- yes, the naming is a bit unfair, the stats are not meant to point 
fingers or blame some package for being unstable, it's meant to show 
which packages causes the most problems so we could focus on them
- of course it depends on how much it's used, but that's exactly the 
point, it can be *just one* bug, but if it affects thousands of users 
it's *the important one*
