Rahul,
I agree with you (and David Lawyer previously) that we don't want to give
*more* attention to more popular documents. However, to give two examples:
* If we find that 20 documents represent 65% of the visits, then
we should use that information to make *absolutely sure* that those 20
documents are excellent, and up-to-date, and truly useful.
* If we find that a HOWTO has not been seen by *anyone* in five
years (for example), then that's a good indication that we should do
something about that document: move it to an "old" section, review it,
revise it, remove it... something.
The information can be very useful indeed. And as you said, once we have it
we shall have a better idea of what it's good for.
