It also mentions other problems (e.g. non-existing feeds) but these really only seem to affect feeds in the bundles - still these problems make me a little skeptical about the numbers. I also missed the followup-post on the Reader blog where the differences between the Reader and Feedburner numbers are explained: http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2007/10/subscriber-stats-summed-up.html Hi Ian,

I don't think Eclipse is in any of those bundles so I don't think it would apply? marko,
