Saying that some others do that is not an argument (should I recall the code of conduct ;-). More seriously why if sage is used for a web service? or just run in background for some reason? You should not expect that a software is run by someone even if most of the time this is true.
If you add if randint(0,99) == 0: annoying_pop_up() in the startup, then it will affect 1% of the starting of sage. I guess that I launch sage hundred times a day.
I mean that 1% of users would _even_ see the question. Sorry for not making this clear. I.e.
if randint(0,99) == 0: if not file_exists('.no-user-survey'): annoying_pop_up() make_file('.no-user-survey') Is it really impossible to see if Sage is used interactively or not? -- Jori Mäntysalo
