Something like the Debian popcon is worth doing as well, as long as it is opt-in, not opt-out.

Not sure if you meant to imply that Debian's popularity-contest system ("popcon") is opt-in, or merely that Red Hat/Fedora's "something like" should be, but, for the record:

Debian popcon is opt-in, not opt-out.

Yes, I know that popcon is opt-in.
