I don't follow this.  Is the reasoning that 11190 downloads for 4.6 is 
high, suggesting that people have to use 4.6 modules for 4.7 
installations?  There were nearly 2000 downloads of the drupal-4.6 tar 
file, so the ratios don't support this (439049 is roughly 20 times the 
number of 4.7.3 downloads, while 11190 is only 5 times the number of 
drupal-4.6 downloads).  I'm not sure this reasoning has any validity, so 
I'd like to know more about your conclusion.
