I dropped the config_stats feature for now (so we can actually come closer to a
stable release) and moved this issue to https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/39

Thanks Evgeni for working on this, I hope we can find a nice solution for post
2017.05!

regards,
Mika

Hi,

I think I have a working implementation of this at
 https://github.com/evgeni/grml-autoconfig/compare/optin_stats
There is a 64bit ISO for testing up at
 http://pinky.die-welt.net/~evgeni/tmp/grml64-opt_in_stats.iso
Ignore the reverences to "KiVS" in there, that are just a couple of addon 
packages installed.

Changes are:
 * the bootparam changed from nostats to stats, and works the other way round 
now (only submit stats when booted with stats)
 * you now get a quickconfig promt that aks to submit the stats
 * you can call "grml-submitstats" at the shell

enjoy

The stats feature (see https://github.com/grml/grml-
autoconfig/blob/master/autoconfig.functions#L1424 for the implementation) provided us 
some useful data about what people actually use.

Now it might be worth consideration to make this feature opt-in instead of the current 
opt-out (using the "nostats" boot option).

A nice idea came up on IRC:

| 10:31 < Guy-> make it an entry in the menu you display on successful boot
| 10:31 < Guy-> "submit anonymous boot report to grml developers"

Feedback and opinions as well as patches/implementation welcome. :)
