Review Comment:
Yes, that might be true. My general feeling in the apache repos is that
bigger and important prs get more reviews and comments. But will trust you on
this!
I have already removed the columns from the blog post. Will also see if
removing them from the ranking in the notebooks changes anything and will
update accordingly.
