FWIW, It'd be useful to know about @system packages as well, particularly
portage, I'd guess, and there's likely others. AFAIK smolt depends on
portage ATM, but the particular versions installed and percentage for
each could be /very/ helpful as more people run smolt.
Also, it obviously doesn't matter much this early in the game, but as
time goes on, getting a snapshot of responses per month and quarter could
be useful.
And is there an anonymous ID number or other means taken to ensure that a
user that reports daily is going to refresh his own stats, but not crowd
out the guy reporting monthly or quarterly? (My apologies if I missed
discussion of this earlier; I wasn't paying too much attention to the
finer details.) How often /should/ we update? Every time we sync and
finish our routine updates? Only once a quarter?
