I do like this idea! And, if there's not an associated UUID, it's more comfortable to do "countme=2" the second week and onward -- this would make it easy to distinguish systems which are short-lived. (Or "countme=new" and "countme=ongoing" or something?) Hmmmm. How comfortable would people be with reporting an incrementing count *every* week (again, without a UUID attached)? That'd give a new axis into the data which I can imagine being quite useful. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
