<p>After almost 4 years, we can draw some conclusions. There is no clear distinction for users. Topics and questions overlap and there is lots of cross-linking between two sites.</p>

<p>I mean, stats is a different topic than data science, but the <em>reality</em> points us in another direction. I would like to see these two merged for the sake of simplicity at least.</p>

<p>I would like data science to stay and stats go, even though stats is way more popular. The reason is stats has tons of questions not directly related to statistics, falling into a broader genre of data science.</p>
