I should walk back some of what I've said. I don't want to be inflammatory. I implied Canonical was collecting this information when they may only in fact be using it to decide which messages to send back to the client. It's entirely possible that the information is being "thrown away" after the http response is sent. If that's the case, it would be great to state it somewhere. Ideally it would be nice to make all those decisions locally, but I recognize the trade offs in terms of payload size and complexity. My apologies
