It would be nice to start d7 with a huge download counter like on http://wordpress.org/download/counter/ (congrats wp!)
This data can be semi live, most of these counters are. we could tail the accesslog of the d/l server once every 5 minutes and update the interval in between "fake" or if it possible make the page real. I dont know how well this would scale (caching, load etc) but could be big for prospects to see that Drupal is one of the top players.
Is this possible to make? should we?

I think its a great idea.
I think its a great idea. Totally support it.
(If also our counter had numbers similar to FF's one.. :) )
firefox 4 release
So we missed the oppertunity for D7 but lets make sure D8 has it :-)
The Glow site of Firefox (4 release) is awesome! http://glow.mozilla.org/ , screenshot at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/5550334550/
and is build around the technologies of http://www.sqlstream.com/
I am sure we can use their service to get this going for D8 :-)
