That might depend on whether there's any text in image.  If there is
text, I've spoken to Mo about the possiblity of extracting strings for
translation (and automatically generating images for all
days/languages).

For F8, I think we actually ended up including some javascript to update
the image (http://fedoraproject.org/static/js/release-counter.js).  All
of the URLs there are absolute (so anybody can include this script to
get their own counter).
