Although I tend to agree with Pasky, I think Luben has a point in that the click count he quoted does not have enough samples and also tainted by known skews (both Gitzilla and I have admitted that we hit blames unnecessarily not because we wanted to see the blamed project but because we wanted to see how the blame on his site shows things) to draw any meaningful conclusion. But that is as far as I would go agreeing with Luben on this thread. If we did not have anything else that obviously are clickable it might be natural to expect people to click on otherwise unhighlighted filenames to grab the blob data. But the current layout that shows filenames in plain and a few obviously clickable links on the same line draws eyes and mouse away from the filename and to the links on the right hand side, even for somebody like me, who intellectually knows (because I merged it) that the filenames in trees ought to be clickable.
