Thanks for pushing back and pointing out holes in my reasoning, btw - 
always good especially when it's 3:20am (...it's one of Those Nights 
when I can't sleep).

I wonder if "IP addresses that have dl'd one of the prior Fedora 
releases before" vs "IP addresses that have not downloaded Fedora 
before" would be a useful differentiation metric for this - it's hard to 
tell who's actually arriving at the site for what. I'll have a chat with 
Ian (since he's doing similar work) about ways we might instrument 
things up better to get the kind of data these discussions should be 
based on... who else is into stats and metrics?
