I am guessing that will be the end of the road for the classic stats
personally, although I do see that on the new user page there is a
place where is says "classic units completed".

Seems like this is there way to get people to switch...

I agree with most of what Grant said, except for the staying with
classic part. The new client is more confusing and elaborate to
configure, but not that complicated either.

I suppose the real upside is that the software allows multiple projects
to use it, and therefore the developers from multiple teams can work on
it... This should allow for more rapid improvement of the
client/server?

Hopefully they get the fact that it's overly troublesome to setup, and
move to make that process easier in the future.

PS My OSX 10.1.5 server is still running the command line classic
version...
