I think you guys are missing the point. The announcement linked above says:

"
Why am I adding this to Ardour?
--------------------------------------
* better data on how much Ardour is actually used
* better idea of the balance between OS X and Linux platforms
* a way to alert users that new versions are available
"

Being able to announce upgrades is a nice side effect, but I don't
think it's the main goal.
The far more valuable point is getting anonymous statistics about
Ardour's usage to plan a better development.
