Projects change over time. Does Django change by importing projects? Or do people change little bits of code all over? If a project imports others, we'd see big blocks of new color in the renderings. If programmers did lots of fixes all over the codebase, we'd see lots of little changes.
The following shows each minor release of Django, from 1.0 in 2008 to 1.10 in 2016.

django-1.0 3,734 192 7 29,762
django-1.1 4,073 201 8 32,976

Here is Python 2.7 vs Python 3.4:

python2 75,532 2151 10 777,519
python3 80,643 2137 10 817,999
Python is surprisingly large, eclipsing even Postgres. Python 3.4 is the largest codebase thus studied.
