Who is we? And yes, definitely more statistics would be good. This could 
have been achieved by enhancing the existing feature rather than 
arbitrarily removing it and replacing it with something different and, 
in my opinion, less valuable.

Also, given that it is the CellML Model Repository, it is likely assumed 
that "peer reviewed models" refers to the CellML model being peer 
reviewed - which is not the case. The use of peer reviewed models should 
be clarified in that statement.
