Glad you chipped in Manfred :-) I was mainly thinking about this for the the android-maven-plugin as it has a huge number of Mojos, many of which I suspect are hardly ever used. getting some quantification on usage would allow us to work out which Mojos could be dropped and which might be better to push into a separate plugin.
People might object, but if we default to on and give an option to switch off, that seems fair for use of an open source plugin. And analytics collection is only going to work when you have a connection.
