To clarify, no current statistics have been released.  The "0.28%"
figure refers to use of Vector before the official roll-out (when the
interwiki links became collapsed by default, if I'm not mistaken).
The disparity is attributable to the fact that most Vector users were
participants in an opt-in, English-language beta test.

For the record, I agree with everything else that you wrote.
