OK. This should be OK. If a 3.3.0 user was running base en-US (or en-GB) with Tamil langpack, then they will get an upgrade notification based on the new 4.0 English version. But then the locale-detection logic on /download/index.html will see that their browser locale is Tamil and recommend the full Tamil install of 4.0. So I think the most common cases will work fine. The odd exception would be if their 3.3.0 base was, say, Swedish. In that case they will not be notified about an upgrade (Swedish is not in 4.0 yet) even though we do have a fill Tamil version.
