Homebrew maintainer here. Remember that we didn’t put these analytics in place to get rich or get free beer at the local pub. Screwing up the stats won’t help anyone.<p>We currently don’t have any overview of our userbase; we don’t even know how many people use Homebrew. More importantly, Homebrew currently only bottles the default options but we know <i>some</i> people use <i>some</i> options that cause the formulae to build from source. If tomorrow we see that e.g. `brew install foo --with-bar` is run by hundreds of people everyday we could start bottling it and saving time to everyone. But right now that’s completely dark; the only insights we have about the usage is people opening issues&#x2F;PRs.
