Here's the link to the issue #627.


I deem it controversial because there is a brewing debate within the issue discussion, and it actually splintered the open-source community a little bit, such as circlejerking over the crybabies and so on.

I liked the Contributions Statistics myself, because I can self-impose myself with metrics available. Since it is gone, it is sad, but what can we do?

I do think it would be better if there are options to opt-out of this blanket ruling, so only those who wanted the metrics can view them in private.

I would imagine it's the data from this page (or some tabs thereof), but this screenshot is recent.. i.e. I can still see it?

It's the "Longest Streak, Total Commits, and Contributions Graph related statistics" on your profile page. Usually the numbers are shown below the green and white grids.

I didnt even know it was there and I have been using Github for over a year now.

There are some people who cares about the numbers.

I, myself, am neutral about it.
