It is also a very good way to get an exact idea of what ports are being installed. You can then see that port x has been installed 400 times, 390 of those with no issues, 10 of those with some issue.

I proposed this two years ago but was shot down because this was considered an invasion of privacy and people didn't want MacPorts "phoning home".

I believe the list consensus was that it would be fine provided it was 'opt in'.

I had wanted to have a nice status display on the MacPorts homepage showing which ports were the most popular, for example. I see their point, but I'm glad to re-open the topic if attitudes have changed.
