Looking at the wiki page [0], I can see the benefits of the move:
> Better metrics overall
> Public stats page updated automatically
> Better knowledge of relative use of different variants
> Insight into Fedora's use in short-lived test systems and temporary containers vs. longer-term installations
but nothing evaluating how and whether the proposed solutions will achieve those things.
With no method being perfect, I'm suprised that no one is calling for a quantitative evaluation of various ID collection schemes, and that there is defined "good enough" value, other than
> We need better data than that.
I'm not a Fedora maintainer, and I'm not maintaining any other software of such popularity, so I have to ask: why? I assume it's to allocate work better. At which point do the downsides outweigh that benefit?
