Again, this is why I didn't suggest to use the by_inst numbers, but
rather the by_vote numbers. The former count the number of
installations; the latter count the actual _use_ of a binary.
If you have nano installed on your system but never actually use it,
that won't move it up in the vote.
If you have a look at the order of the by_vote numbers for editors,
you'll see that vim, not nvi or nano, is at the top.
