Well, i wouldn't call a software that counts serverside downloads of
FOSS software and gives based on that downloads/installations, a
popularity suggestion in packagekit, spyware.
There's nothing at all that gets sent out of your box.

Remind, i'm not speaking of exactly popcon. I spoke about something in
the server, just counting the download/installation (not even unique
installations via some hash or whatever) and a packagekit extension
that shows the count or something like stars or whatever.

So, it has to be on by default.
