This idea sounds surprising to me: sharing sysprefs in anonymous way 
look less sensible than sharing library & contact. That's why we wrote 
HEA with only 3 options: share nothing / share data anonymously 
(including syspref) / share everything.
In your idea, what about numbers already shared (like # of biblios, 
patrons, issues, ...) ? should they be sent with syspref or with library 
name/contact ?
OTHER : do you think it's an option that will result in more libraries 
being on HEA ?

Good news: we store the "last update timestamp" on the server. So we can 
do that really easily ;)
