Cool, thanks!

Nothing is ever sent until you confirm that you want to participate, 
which is a one-time thing that looks a lot like this:

Once you've confirmed that you want to participate, reports are sent 
automatically after all runs, whether they crash or not.  I realize 
that's a bit unusual.  CBI works by looking for the *differences* 
between good and bad runs, so we need to see examples of both for the 
analysis to work.

Please see <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/learn-more/> for more information 
about what we're measuring, why, and how we protect your privacy in the 
process.  If you have any additional questions, please ask: this can 
only work if the users trust/understand what we're doing.

Yes.  I make it a priority to stay current so that my users are never 
torn between supporting CBI bug hunting and keeping up with new official 
Fedora releases.
