This is done intentionally, it is not a bug and is a 3-line fix if 
anyone ever shows that it isn't needed.

These (expected number and the variance) are trivial to compute (I done 
it a few times) and if anybody ever needs them, ask me.  No need to 
rediscover the bicycle.

This is done as a part of ai_can_fly patch.  Not fully, only for 
refuelpoints + targets, but this is easy to extend, if needed.  It is the 
latest part that I'm dubious about.
