IIUC Kexi submits telemetry on each startup (opt-in, of course). That does not 
allow you to distinguish between one user starting the application multiple 
times or many users starting it once (which has a lot of implications on how 
to interpret/weight the data). Look for Jaroslaw's contributions to the 
previous thread for the full picture.
