Note also that the old (comma) count is slightly skewed, probably by some old counter bugs that didn't handle deletions properly, and would be 20143 if recounted properly.
Than using the new count system will be no problem as the count jumps to the right direction. It had been problematic if it had jumped to 19* or so, nearly a week after anouncing the 20k article.
Thanks for doing the updates.
