I was just wondering if there is any consensus on adding BSDStats to the 
base system? If would appear to be a logical step to take so as to insure 
that all users of FBSD would be counted. An end user could always disable 
the sending of data by disabling it in the /etc/rc.file. I feel that unless 
it is part of the base system and turned on by default, too many users will 
never take part in the reporting process.

Also, there does not appear to be a 'man' page for BSDStats. Is that 
correct? Perhaps there should be one.

Just my 2¢.
