Re: Release, 3rd draft

That's not a very impressive number. I'm concerned that it will compare poorly against MySQL. That fact that MySQL 5 stinks and has needed such a long beta is beside the point.

We could just delete the "Given that 8.1 has already had x downloads of the beta" statement. We could also appeal to an industry trend instead of an 8.1 beta metric. Something like "Given the acceleration around all things open source, I'm expecting..."

Folks,

5) I've just checked our download stats. So far, we've only had about
11,000 beta downloads. If there's no accelleration, that could mean
about 20,000 downloads at the time of release. So, question, is 20,000
beta downloads impressive at all? Or does this make it a bad quote?
