Comment (by karmatosed):

 A good thing to bring up and glad the discussion in design on Slack have
 triggered this. I do have a few thoughts on seeing this:

 - Data collection through tracking like this isn't the only data source we
 should look to. I often think we don't do enough surveys, interviews and
 other non tracking methods.
 - Above said, doing that and having tracking would be good, it's just how
 we do it and what impact that makes.
 - I think whatever data we have should be made anonymous and made public
 from start.

 At this point I don't have any other thoughts but interested how this
 develops.
