Yes it is statistic

Are you joking!!! I am pro_audio user by profession you think that
pro_audio users are so silly!!! You can't be serious!

I still don't understand what scary you?

Having Hydrogen and Composite in archive together is totally harmless.
Only reported issue is some "confused Hydrogen users" ( or maybe you? ) ...
do you have some numbers how many of them ?

Maybe we can add note to Hydrogen manpages
"If you want launch Hydrogen double_click Hydrogen icon ... If you want
launch Composite double_click Composite icon"

Sorry for sarcasm, but really think we are solving here pseudo-problem. :/
