What I find missing from all the OSS analytics is log parsing agents that I can install on my servers for sites that I don't want to have JS on. The agent would parse the logs periodically (every hour from cron or whatever) and send the parsed/analyzed data to the server handling analytics. This could also augment data for sites that primarily use a JS tracker by adding information on users that have JS disabled (or users on such a bad connection that they leave before the load finishes) as well as bots, uptime checkers etc.

Actually this sounds reasonable to add, I added this feature to my backlog, it won't be too hard to implement it.
By the way, as for now we also support no-JS tracking via 1x1 px GIF.
