The more information you add to the User-Agent the easier it gets to track individual users without having to rely on other information. Currently distfiles are fetched with the default User-Agent used by fetch(1) which looks like "fetch libfetch/2.0". If SF cared about it, they could already separate clients that use the fetch(1) default User-Agent from the "unknown" section and you could then conclude that most of these requests were made using vanilla FreeBSD. If the ports system would default to adding the uname etc. to the User-Agent, some FreeBSD deviates would probably simply default to adding "FreeBSD" as well instead of leaking the real uname information without the users consent. Therefore it's unlikely to result in more reliable statistics anyway. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
