I have published a crate since last year on crates.io: Rust Package Registry, with 13 versions. However, looking at the statistics, I see that older versions are still getting downloaded! And more strangely, they get downloaded almost equally! I think bots, AI systems, or IDEs’ intelligence may scrape the package.
Usually, peaks (on the chart) happen with each release of Rustc. :person_shrugging:

Why is this so?
