At this time we're not slipping. However even if we did, we can just
reset the counter back a little bit. It's not really worse than having
our release date change on the schedule page. It certainly wouldn't be
the first case of a computer progress timer going backwards...
So we can start the counter whenever we want. Just say a number and
counter images will be produced starting from that day.
So far this is the only proposal for a counter image:
