That was not the point of the statement.

Sure it was. You brought up the numbers to prove a point - to bolster your
side with a rhetorical question, but the numbers are suspect; they don't
tell us how _useful_ the classes are. In my case, the classes I looked at
left too much to be desired to be useful, but perhaps other classes on there
_are_ useful - I just didn't need them at the time. You've created a
repository - for that I thank you - but to imply that the number of visits
or downloads or subscribers = the number of people actually using the
classes is disingenuous at best.
