That's not just free software but the internet economy: it is cheaper to
start from scratch with an upgrade having learned from someone elses
mistakes (or legacy) than it is for them to "fix" that across their
existing customer base.

There is a LOT we can learn from each other. It could be as simple
(and automated) as a count of what's installed on various "classes"
of systems.
<your_smtp_mailer> register@debian.org -s my_registration < dpkg --get-selections
Setting the "classes" would be the hard part:
eg quake on 1 workstation or an ISP running minivend, etc....
