Re: Should the default value of url-user-agent include a version number? What about the specific case of package.el?

Thanks for your reply, Stefan :)

OS info would be useful too, I think. I spent a very significant amount of time 
last January tracking down a bug affecting Flycheck (which, thanks to Eli's 
incredible efficiency, was solved in no time after I reported it; thanks Eli!). 
Having data on how many people were likely to be affected by this bug would 
have been very useful in knowing whether the effort was worth it; especially as 
it prevented me from working on features that would have benefited users of 
free operating systems.
