FWIW, It'd be useful to know about @system packages as well, particularly 
portage, I'd guess, and there's likely others.  AFAIK smolt depends on 
portage ATM, but the particular versions installed and percentage for 
each could be /very/ helpful as more people run smolt.

Also, it obviously doesn't matter much this early in the game, but as 
time goes on, getting a snapshot of responses per month and quarter could 
be useful.

And is there an anonymous ID number or other means taken to ensure that a 
user that reports daily is going to refresh his own stats, but not crowd 
out the guy reporting monthly or quarterly?  (My apologies if I missed 
discussion of this earlier; I wasn't paying too much attention to the 
finer details.)  How often /should/ we update?  Every time we sync and 
finish our routine updates?  Only once a quarter?
