Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs

Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

This is a bad mistake. Anyone who knows WP updates knows they cannot auto run via some community supported plugin. There are hosts offering this with a good setup. This plugin removes one part of this the emails, which is great. But if it could also turn this off entirely it would be just perfect.
