Want your Firefox add-ons? Better get them now
Mozilla Corp. will relaunch its popular Firefox add-on site Monday by culling the several thousand extensions listed for its open-source browser to just a couple of hundred.
The move is part of a general overhaul of the add-on site, which will also feature more support for international users and new tools for user-to-user discussions.
But it's the thinning of the add-on herd that may raise eyebrows. "We're trying to tighten up the extensions, especially for new first-time users," said Mike Shaver, Mozilla's technology strategist.

Although on one hand , it does make sense that the nno-maintained code should be removed from the site, I wonder if they are keeping track of how many times a particular add-on has been downloaded.
I think sites like freshmeat and SourceForge should also make such a move.
