Permalink Encoding vs Custom Permalink Editor

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Permalink Encoding moved down one install band, 20+ to 10+; Custom Permalink Editor moved up one install band, 3K+ to 4K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
