No offence, but I *strongly* disagree. Doing things in a hurry is a call for something between troubles and disaster. It just not something we can quickly make and push and voilà. We need to decide what data is collected because we need to explain clearly to users what will be sent. So, we need to write a new page on the console explaining this. It then need to be translated in every languages we support. Then, we need to find a way to do the same for existing installations (which won't see the console by doing a simple yum update) Starting collecting data without telling our users would be very bad for our image. Security cannot be a second citizen either, having our users data stolen would be just as bad, or worst. Finally, we barely have resources to maintain the distro right now. Having install stats is a good thing, but not our top priority I think. For all this reasons, I see no way we can have it ready for the next ISO.
