Hrm. How did this morph from a one-time "tell us you love GNOME" form to a "program that would periodically contact a central GNOME server"? We did talk about the willingness of distros to leave things unpatched, and there was some agreement that it would be unlikely for distros to leave a "phone home" feature in, but would probably leave a one-time form in. - Jeff -- OSCON 2005: August 1st-5th http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2005/ "Not only that, but Google is fast.
