EE usage ping
If people start using EE more it would be nice to know this in realtime, so we can engage before the renewal comes up. We want the on-premises GitLab EE server to tell us the amount of active users.
Options (and disadvantages) are:
- Have the server ping us (firewalls might block this)
- Encode in the version check (might be confusing, can be turned off)
- Use the version check loads as a proxy for usage (imprecise)
Not sure if we should allow users to turn this off.
In any case:
- We should disclose that this is happening
- We should not build this into CE
