Good point. I wonder if there's any way to take that into account when considering whether to drop versions.

Well, keep in mind also that it's counting installs, not users...
people destroy and reinstall Linux systems a *lot* more often than
they do Windows/macOS systems, what with clouds and containers and CI
systems and all. On my personal laptop I install numpy maybe once per
release, but on Travis I install it half a dozen times every day.

Would be interesting if the travisCI and appveyor downloads could be separated out.
