Basically when they decided to host it, they forced the tracker "keen" to be used. Its fixed now, but forcing trackers on users seems very negative.

It is free and open project, and made as experiment for users to play. It is reasonable enough to collect simple data about interaction with game, in order to identify how to improve it and get experience that we keen to share with anyone.

I think it's just used to increment a play count.
