downloads of the alpha release of TimberWolf show over 3x that amount & that doesn't include 4.0 users


Download statistics are a very bad gauge. Even more with OS4-SW where a lot of those downloads might have happenend with their version of OWB (known to f###up downloads) or with downloads that are so old that people might have done a complete resinstall in the meantime (also not unheard of in OS4-circles).


Add those who don't own OS4.1 but download "just to check".

The whole thing gets 100% pointless if a specific download is missued as an gauge several times (as happened in another case).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
