Expected behavior

The total number of languages supported remains the same.

There are some internal grammar/dependencies that are purposely hidden from the download list, so the download count is not expected to be equal to the absolute count. These counts are only for "bragging rights" anyways, it's ok if it's "off by a few".

A PR changing it to ~200 (approx. 200) might be "ok" if this really really bugs you, otherwise I'm closing it as a non-issue.

Take that back I actually think the precision is nice, even if it's possibly inaccurate. You could argue the download page is the inaccurate page - though it's done purposely.

Why hide some internal grammar/dependencies? If it must be hidden, I think it should not be included in the language.

Anyway, thank you for your answer.

So people can't "break" the download or be confused when things are included they didn't pick. Easier to just hide.
