True. I observed this. Its kind of scary.

There are 256 packages out of top 1000 packages that didn’t get updated for more than 1 year. In that 128 packages out of top 1000 packages didn’t get updated for more than 2 years but still, so many of us using them.

Like that several patterns I saw. Mentioned about it in my article also about this - https://python.plainenglish.io/my-observations-of-the-python-ecosystem-3ad2adb6662c

Great observation and cool article also! I found some quite interesting things there. I didn't know that Flask is so much more popular than Django!

Thank you. This like "Flask is so much more popular than Django" is debatable. In the article I was talking based on the downloads.

Okay, maybe it is better to say "more used" :)
