Now that is a good idea!

I'm pondering the way anonymizing is done. At the moment it's either done or not done when the stats are recorded, and then those records are sent as-is. Perhaps the better way is to record all stats in the clear, and then have an anonymizing tool that's used to submit the information. That way you could import your own copy of the clear data for whatever analysis you want to do, and then send us the anonymized data.
And I like your idea of a controlled list of exceptions.
I'm teetering on not doing this until 2.3.0 though just because this would mean more big code changes during Beta, which are supposed to be minimized. Maybe I'll come up with a diff and see how big it is before making that decision.

I presume this email grants us license to include it as our own then? :-)
