Pros:
+ Getting stats on popular packages and code. Keeping anonymity should be
like apt on debian/ubuntu by requesting permission for anonymous stats
reporting.
+ Showing Go's popularity and increasing community and adoption
Cons:
- Having a central point of failure for pulling repos.. Look at the massive
DDoS on Dyn right now taking out quite a few major web platforms (Twitter,
Spotify, Reddit, New York Times, WIRED.com, etc)
- Central repos are often terribly slow, creating local mirrors is not easy
- Not suitable for automated builds / testing without reliable mirrors
Adding anonymous reporting to go get and a website to show results would
solve this nicely without creating a bottleneck.
