I'm glad I'm not the only person who found this surprising. Withholding payment until a threshold is reached would make some sense, though for some packages they might be waiting years. Another approach might be to reserve some kind of "bump" fund - a small percentage from all the other projects gets reserved, and when small packages get to half the threshold they can be "bumped" in the theory that 5 dollars to a big project is nothing, but to a tiny project might be game changing. Probing actual line-of-code usage stats would be impractical, I suppose. It's a difficult question, but an important one
