Yeah, I think there's ways to increase usage visibility without being
invasive to everyone's privacy. Exact details, even for those who
opted in, aren't necessary since just having a rough count of
downloads is all maintainers need to get a general feel for how much
their package is being used.

I feel like small usability improvements and aggregated information
like this will make testing be a more predictable and fulfilling
experience, rather than a mystery. ;) Plus, this specific issue has no
significant impact on the regular user, who's not interested in
reporting data.
