Studies LH011

When one of the most downloaded Python projects releases a new version, does it reach half of the project's downloads within two days as a rule, and how much of its early uptake carries the build-server flag, compared with the release it replaces?

The answer so far. For some projects, not as a rule, by the brief's convention; and the new release's early downloads carry the build-server flag less often than the old release's on the same days, by about seven percentage points.
