That's nothing.  The Japanese birth rate dropped by some 25% in 1966
because that's the "hi-no-uma" year[1] in the Chinese Zodiac.  Women born
in that year are expected to be exceptionally stubborn and unsuited to
be wives, so most people try to avoid recording births in that year.
(Doctors who are willing to backdate or postdate birth certificates
for a nominal fee are not unknown....)

I don't see why not.  People who are nervous about 13s (and right now,
the way my damned Mac is behaving, I'm ready to believe in gremlins
... actually it's an acknowledged X.org bug, but ...) won't download
that release anyway.<wink>  Maybe you should do the old elevator thing
and skip to 14!

Footnotes: 
[1]  The Zodiac has 12 symbols, the basic cycle twelve years, but the
basic personality indication is modified by a subsidiary 5-cycle "long
cycle".  "Uma" is horse, "hi" is sun, but an idiomatic translation
would be "Year of the Mule", I guess.
