Just because this one keeps coming up, I need to say this again (and again, and again). Functionality such as this will never ever make it into pacman. Ever. I know I'm speaking for Dan here, but I'm confident he feels the same. Pacman will never ever upload anything such as usage statistics. Pacman is a package manager. External scripts can and should handle this.
