Correct.

This is not correct. No action is required from the user.
`org-board-wget-program' still points to the wget program defined as an
input to emacs-org-board, and will still be used at run time.

Of course, the user still can point `org-board-wget-program' to their
new and shiny wget binary, but this is not required.

I also suggest to keep wget (or wget2) as an input and use
`emacs-substitute-variables'.
