I'd just like to mention that if the community was determined enough we'd

1. Demand removal of analytics software 2. If no action, fork and re-publish.

Obviously folks who aren't technical/didn't see these threads wouldn't get the benefit of an update.

This is something where an explicitly pro-opensource and anti-tracking (or at least minimal tracking) policy by the browser extension stores would be valuable. The store itself could recommend the no-tracking community version instead. Of course this would have to happen on an individual basis and be carefully managed as so not to be abused.
