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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

As a non-professional web developer I really appreciate having this plugin. It’s saved my bacon on a number of occasions when I’ve stuffed up, or some random corruption has occured. Thank you.

Was looking for a solution to bypass the WP_POST_REVISIONS limit and this worked great for that, also added the functionality for setting revision limits by post type!
