Leon: I just realized that you can't go back in time to calculate libyears, at least not with our current tools. You'd need to pass a reference date that would be used like "only consider releases on or before this date". If I go back to the beginning of a repo and run libyear, I'm comparing its packages at that time to most recent release dates now, not at that time.
Jared: and you want to chart how libyears have changed over time for a project? seems like a useful feature
