Install and download counts are easily swayed by a continuous integration framework that installs and downloads all of the packages on each new commit. We compensate against those in the popularity score, and I think it provides a better metric, than the raw counts.

@isoos I disagree. The Nuget package system of .net shows download counts and its a great help for package authors to see if the package is in constant use. For package authors its an important metric. even if it's not exact.

We've reconsidered this, and are looking into options for supporting this. The current tracking issue is https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dev/issues/2714.
