My biggest issue with this is that it's only useful for Fedora
Workstation. As it is currently designed, nobody else can benefit from
it. I would have preferred a design that allows all Fedora variants to
be able to offer this so that we have more holistic understanding and
useful data for each team. :(

Additionally, there's also the concern of whether the Red Hat Display
Systems Team (fka Red Hat Desktop Team) will actually *do* anything
once this data is available.
