Yes, that's why I said 'add a repository' above. If you have a few reliable machines that you control, don't use any others as mirrors. It shouldn't be a big load to serve one file that changes once a month - and it gives the users an easy way to opt out if they feel that being counted violates their privacy. My personal feeling is that as long as everyone knows the result it is not an issue for me. I might have a problem with it if some other group collected my information and withheld it from everyone else.
I dont see the advantage of using a specific repository instead of just getting the logs from the mirrors on the package update hits they get. They already are syncing gigabytes of package updates.
