Comment (by irl):

 Replying to [comment:4 karsten]:
 > In theory, I agree. However, this extrapolation code is so legacy that
 we wouldn't look at it again even if we decide we want to extrapolate
 numbers again. To give you an idea, this code is based on a previous
 approach for estimating user numbers, and this graph is the only reason
 why we still have this code in the codebase. I'd rather want to start
 cleanly when writing the next extrapolation code than looking again at
 this very old code. So, good suggestion in theory, but in this case I
 think it simply doesn't make as much sense.

 Ok, your reasoning as to why this does not make sense makes sense.
