  1. Hi.
    Care to tell me what exactly could be submitted or is problematic in terms of privacy ? Could someone see which packages I have installed ?
    Thanks,

    Martin

  2. It would be nice if you could explain why this could harm your privacy.

  3. I got strong hints that detailed statistics, not only about how many installations are out there but about e.g. what repositories are added to a specific installation etc are made.
    It of course depends on your level of paranoia if you think that this is problematic.
