Hello All
I have used Ubuntu since 2005 and often wondered why packages do not
have a counter that is increased when it is used actively.

That way each of us could discover which of the many thousands we
really need.

Thanks for the marvellous functionality I still enjoy as a retired
grandad .

Best wishes for another 15 years (if I survive that long). Kind
regards. Chas.
