 Replying to [comment:16 matt]:

 actionable or useful will come of it that couldn't be obtained by non-
 data-collecting means.

 What are the other "non-date collecting means", if I may ask?

 Although I'm no expert, and just like @jcasabona I'm not a regular in
 these parts, I agree with the idea above and have personally seen it put
 to good use on a smaller scale. I've seen this be rejected twice now, but
 with no alternatives being proposed and no valid reasons being presented.
 "I doubt that anything actionable or useful will come of it..." is more of
 a personal opinion rather than that of an open-source community.
