That idea seems *very* interesting to me. Especially the result, that there
maybe have been no issues with the update. And if we could extend that even
to non-testing packages, but to regular updates, we even should get, if our
testing results are representative...

AFAIK we anyway don't have something reporting the packager how many people
are using his package. I might be wrong, but Debian has such a tool now for
years - IIRC not with the same goal as in our case, but I got told, it is
useful to the packagers and maintainers there.

Are there possible load issues for such an idea on or around the Fedora
Infrastructure?
