Comment (by zorem):

 Replying to [ticket:6511 markzahra]: I think that plugin developer should
 strike, no more support, updates and adding new plugins to the repo unless
 WordPress will return the growth chart and also will give the developers
 more stats about the plugin performance in the repo.


 > In [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/12097 changeset 12097],
 the active install growth chart shown for each plugin in the plugin
 directory was removed "due to insufficient data obfuscation".
 >
 > These stats are actually very useful for plugin developers and it's
 really and truly one of the only indications of the growth or decline of a
 plugin over time. These graphs at least give us an idea of the performance
 of a plugin before and after we make certain changes, helping us get a
 better idea of how helpful they are for WordPress users.
 >
 > They should be brought back and improved rather than taken away, as was
 brought up in the original discussion in
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3016 ticket 3016].
