Who has contributed to the census? I'm running the scan on all my machines as I write this.

Interesting. I'll have to grab it and get it running on mine.

Here's a tip: When you run the scan on a production machine, pass the --production-scan flag to the scanner to register it in the census as a production machine. It doesn't say so in the quick start guide but it does in the full user guide for the scanner.

I forgot and noticed in the results that it said "Production machine: false". I'll have to re-run the scan 24 hours from now and fix that.
