NuGet package download stats fell off a cliff at the end of July, from four billion weekly downloads to around eight hundred million. This is probably a bug or a change in the way the metrics are calculated, but NGL I'm 100% here for all the Reddit folks saying it's 'cos of European summer holidays.

I wish when someone commented on an open source issue saying, "we need this at our company," it also included, "and we're willing to sponsor the project to make it happen." There's still way too much expectation of free labor in open source from for-profit companies.
