No problem. I appreciate that you had good intentions --- but jumping in
and editing our web page for us (especially in an underdiscussed and
unreviewable manner) wasn't, IMO, the best way to execute them. :-)

It's particularly interesting that the download numbers spike every time there's a new Subversion release--as, of course, they should, except that I'm still talking about downloads of older releases. I'm just not buying it. I think these people are confused, and I'm trying to figure out how to help them find something more up-to-date.

Not sure what we can do, other than add a big-red-letters "This is 1.4.0;
you probably don't need it" warning on the download page itself...
