seems like not, yet https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/142

I am confirming that Homebrew silently starts talking to Google with no warning after a "brew upgrade".

I was prompted with a warning during my most recent brew update...

I brew updated a few times today and finally got that message. By the time that message showed up, the file ~/.homebrew_analytics_user_uuid was already 4 hours old, which makes me wonder when they actually started doing the analytics

I updated Homebrew almost daily and my .homebrew_analytics_user_uuid shown that it was created on Apr 24[1], which means I have been sending the analytics data without knowing for two days already (UTC+7) :-\
