Now, update module getting a version update check to notify a user without sending information is one thing..... If it does send then we NEED to document what it sends and what is done with it.
Opting in for sending modules used statistics back was something in the past that was discussed as campaigning to get voluntary buy in from people and documenting it as why it benefits the user community.
So... before we wander to far a field. Which will we be doing in D6 and are they two separate conversations?
My understanding is that *anonymized* site information -- a hash of the url rather than the url itself -- is used as a key for module usage information that we store for statistical purposes. There is presently, AFAIK, no way to separate this functionality from the update notification. --Jeff
