Well yes, but I still think that whatever awstat does to get this count 
will be a very poor approximation to unique visitors.

I'm not the only one, but of the people with access to the relevant 
server I'm the one most likely to do it if we do it from the slippy map 
logs. If we do it from the tile server logs then Jon would be more 
likely (though we both could do it from either machine).

If what you're asking is why we don't just give anybody who asks root 
access to the web server then I hope that would answer itself.

I'm not sure to be honest - the foundation I guess. I don't believe we 
have a policy on the release of statistical information like this at the 
moment.
