I was thinking about this and why not sending the survey as Fedora
magazine article with link to the survey itself. In this case it will be
available to anyone without the need to install anything. We could even
have the user to only copy/paste hwinfo output or output from some
similar utility that is available in default Fedora installation.
This is the approach that protondb [0] is using to collect the system
info from user. You just copy/paste system info from Steam.

I know some of us have been thinking about implementing a system-info

Canonical does for Ubuntu. I'm not ruling those out, but what if we had
something (a shell extension? something else?) that would unobtrusively
offer a survey
I'm a bit confused - what's the difference between what you have in
mind and a metrics tool? This is more for getting data that's inputted
by a human?
The metrics tool is a one-time opt-in that from that point onward does stuff
in the background on its own schedule. The Steam hardware survey is an
occasionally-appearing thing that collects system information automatically
but which you then submit yourself right then by pushing the button.
