@camille @Wuzzy @len ui designer here... after some frustrating volunteering, i got the ugly truth...

analytics is a subset of mass surveillance, something closed source is happy to do, but open source is not, out of respect.

issue is: analytics are a cornerstone of usability (what's the real blocker? is deployed feature successful?), and without reliable data (that closed source collects lots but open source refrains from), it can't really do its job. it will *always* fall behind.
