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.


Cheers,
Daniel
