You might might remember, a great(?) while ago, the MySQL folks kept 
repeating that they had 4 million downloads, period.  Apparently, 
people just stopped downloading MySQL at some point, I guess.  With a 
bit of research and imagination you can compute that, even back then, 
PostgreSQL must have had a lot more than 4 million downloads in total.  
So in the end that was just  cute figure that told us nothing.
