I assume our players probably want to play on our servers, as they already have some progress here, that's why most of them won't switch to play on another 0.3.DL server, even though they seem to like the DL feature. They simply play on 0.3.7 because we are on 0.3.7. Our current players would definitely switch to 0.3.DL, if we upgraded servers to 0.3.DL. But my policy is to always stick with the official SA-MP version, thus 0.3.7, as I want players being able to discover our servers through internet/hosted list of 0.3.7 client, as I don't believe other source can compete with SA-MP client at this point, neither Youtube.

If 0.3.9 is released, I will upgrade my 0.3.7 servers to that version and 0.3.DL server will remain on 0.3.DL. If 0.3.9 is released with DL feature, I will upgrade all my servers to 0.3.9. and they could start benefit from DL features currently introduced on our 0.3.DL server.

You are right. Everytime new SA-MP version was released, it caused increased player base, so might the DL. This effect is temporary. But DL is basically limitless, with DL, servers can give players much more of interesting content on and on and use that effect to keep SA-MP alive. And SA-MP won't even need any new version to hook players, albeit releasing new SA-MP version always will have a huge impact on increased player base.
