@Dustin

Are we looking at the same USER_AGENT string? I ran the block of code
from `update-motd.d/50-motd-news` on my laptop that constructs the
USER_AGENT variable that's sent to motd.ubuntu.com and it looks like
this: "curl/7.47.0-1ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu/16.04.2/LTS
GNU/Linux/4.7.0-040700-generic/x86_64
Intel(R)/Core(TM)/i7-7500U/CPU/@/2.70GHz uptime/1499911.84/3827524.62"
not what's described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent and not
what you pasted above. Reading the comments in the code, it's clear that
it's being used to craft the response, but what's not clear is if
Canonical is collecting the server information... If they are, I think
it's fair to make that apparent. That's all.
