 presentation of that side of the argument to consider.


 Hi Matt, are the reasons posted so far and the 90+ people watching this
 ticket enough of a reason to reconsider the decision?

 From a user's perspective, this chart is what tells me whether a plugin is
 doing well or struggling. If the chart shows some struggles, it tells me I
 need to investigate further to see why that's happening. Is the plugin
 being abandoned? Are the developers doing something shady that people
 aren't liking? Is there an alternative plugin offering something better?

 Please note that we are yet to be given a clear reason for this sudden
 removal 5 days later. This is only leading to frustration and speculation
 among the community. If you don't want to give us an honest answer and
 there is no real security risk, can you please just bring this chart back
 and start a conversation with the developer community to find ways to
 improve upon it?

 The response from the community is as clear as can be.
