Hi :) 'Fortunate' like 99.99% of people! Upgrading from 3.x.x to 4.0.x produced a startling lack of bump in traffic on this list, except old die-hards remarking on how well it went. The 4.1.0-beta gave more of a bump but still nothing like the start of a new branch used to produce here.
If we take the ancient figure of 60milion users (am i remembering correctly?) world-wide and that this is the international list and gets emails from Japan, India, Iran, even New Zealand and all around the globe i think we can safely say that 1. not so many are upgrading and/or 2. not many are having troubles of course there is another possiblity but LO usage seems to be growing rapidly, not dwindling!
