Linux Mint is refreshing in its openness about money, stats and rankings

I'm looking into Linux Mint as my next possible operating system, and I found this extremely refreshing blog post that the project appears to repeat every month detailing how much it collected in donations (and from whom), what kind of traffic its servers are receiving and how the project is ranking on Distrowatch.

I hate to trot out a cliche (OK, I don't hate it so much, or I wouldn't do it so often), but this kind of openness from Mint is very refreshing.
