Interestingly our web stats tracker shows version.txt being hit 57.5 million
times in 2018 - which is a pretty useful indication of the amount of usage QGIS
gets. Even if you divide that by 365 it would reflect around 157428 daily
active users*.
* Assuming awstats can be believed to be a true reflection of users using QGIS
and not bots etc.

For me I am fine making it opt-in if that is what others prefer….
