Hi Jesse.  The question of superiority isn't interesting.  Fedora is
very very committed to doing what it needs to get done using completely
opensource products when possible.  (I say when possible to avoid
derailed discussions about PC bioses and router firmwares)

The reality is that Fedora itself would not make use of any thing that
Omniture may learn from our site.  We're doing just fine with awstats,
and anything we feel is missing from awstats we'd work with the
upstream to provide that functionality.

However, if Red Hat as a corporation feels that they need to gather
some information about the Fedora websites, and that information is
only available through Omniture, and getting data to Omniture is only
possible through runtime java scripts, that's something else to discuss.

Can you explain what the java scripts are, how they work, what license
they're under, etc..?
