Fedora, UUIDs, and user tracking

"User tracking" is generally contentious in free-software communities-even if the "tracking" is not really intended to do so. It is often distributions that have the most interest in counting their users, but Linux users tend to be more privacy conscious than users of more mainstream desktop operating systems. The Fedora project recently discussed how to count its users and ways to preserve their privacy while doing so. As always, an exceptionally good article from LWN.
