in reply to Better Best Nodes?

Sometimes, when attempting to be all things to everyone, you end up being nothing to anyone.

I suppose my biggest concern with adding new statistics is simply in usability. How many options do users need to wade through to get what they want? I grant that as the primary subject of PM is perl and its TMTOWTDI attitude, often what people want is just one specific WTDI.

It does mean, however, that PM can't be all things to all people. But I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

Just for curiosity ... what would a user do to see this new list, where are the link(s), etc. - and do we have too many links already?

    It wouldn't be a new list, it would simply be a new constraint on the current list. In my view, it's an improvement. I'm interested to know whether others who see some value in the use of the list agree.

    I'm a little puzzled by those who have replied to say that they see no value in Best Nodes at all. Is that supposed to be useful input?
