There was a small drop last month, and a note saying that hits for 
DTrace had been eliminated as false positives for the D Programming 
Language. If it had been possible for DTrace to be such a false 
positive, I am curious about what other false positives could be 
effecting other languages, but I definitly think it is a blow to the 
index's credibility.
