"[...] we do not have the resources to do detailed user studies of Homebrew users to decide on how best to design future features and prioritise current work. Anonymous aggregate user analytics allow us [...]" Isn't this a false dichotomy? Why can't other measures be used that don't require "resources" to do "detailed user studies" yet don't require on-by-default information capturing? Surely there are many open source projects that persist to make their users happy without this information, correct?
