@mikegerwitz @roland I just accepted the merge request to remove the Google Analytics plugin in !GNUsocial with this comment:

"I think however there's a value in making it hard to do bad things. Anyone who reallyreallyreally requires Google's disservices can ask around and get someone to revive the plugin for them. The code's there in the history anyway, we just shouldn't put any effort in maintaining it.

If Google wants to maintain it for us, of course we could consider that (assuming all the software in the repo is libre). But let's not do their work gratis just because they have a substantial market influence."
