But thats OK because yum-updatesd runs by default and hits the webpage FOR

I did not know that. If that's the case, then it's an absolute
no-brainer.
"hitting a web page" isn't an interesting metric to me. 50,000 hits
isn't as interesting as 5,000 users. And hits do not translate into
users. Cookies let you pick out users, as do explicit registration
tools. And they give you some sense of use and length of use. Hits don't.
The rich irony here, of course, is that rather than tell users we're
tracking them, we will instead be able to track them invisibly through the
normal operation of their systems. But I'm perfectly happy either way,
so.
Not tracking. Just counting.
