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.
