That was hardly sufficient disclosure. That notice was colored, it was typeset in bold, it was surrounded by newlines, and it sounded an audible bell. Blaming Homebrew for the fact that you missed that message says more about you than about Homebrew.

> I’m not sure on whose systems you believe packages are built and tested, and from whose systems you feel Homebrew downloads bottles. Is Ubuntu a service because Canonical builds and tests packages and hosts package repositories? I don't think many people would make that claim. > That notice was colored, it was typeset in bold, it was surrounded by newlines, and it sounded an audible bell. That's not the notice I got. "Anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics documentation: https://git.io/brew-analytics" https://git.io/brew-analytics". No bold. No bell. The notice you linked to was added in reaction to the outcry. The bold and bell were added at a later date. The Homebrew maintainers continue to refuse to do the only ethical thing and PROMPT THE USER instead of making assumptions one way or another.
