That's a really intriguing idea!

Is some sort of download statistics for Rust releases available? I am interested

static.rust-lang.org seems to be hosted on Amazon S3. Is web log available for
analysis?

No, we did not have request logging enabled until today. I just turned
it on, so we should start gathering stats presently. It'll take a while
to get a picture from that (and will, in any case, probably not be
interesting before the next release).

One thing I've often wondered about adding a telemetry-reporting mode
for rustc (opt-in of course) that reports usage stats to us, so we can
see things like:

   - Which ICEs are host often hit
   - Which error messages and warnings are most often emitted
   - Which packages are most often installed
   - Which language constructs are most often used
   - How rustc is performing in terms of memory use and compile time

I haven't seen this sort of telemetry in a command-line tool before but
given how valuable it has turned out to be in browsers, I wonder if it'd
be a tolerable addition for users.
