since this is homebrew we are talking about the solution will be whatever is the most user hostile.
If you want to regain my trust, remove the analytics function, swear off such things forever, and expel Mike McQuaid from the project. But I doubt that will happen, so MacPorts it is. And I'll encourage everyone I know to use it rather than Homebrew.
One thing I still want to point out though: whatever we do, we do it in good faith and with the best of intentions for both our users and ourselves.
