bower: "Ask for Insights on first run." breaks automation.

When issuing bower install for the first time even with the -s option present bower asks ‘May bower anonymously report usage statistics to improve the tool over time? (Y/n)’ which breaks automated tools not expecting interaction (i.e. Travis).

Would be great if we could provide an answer as a part of the command or at least for the -s option to be respected.

<sarcasm>Oh that’s great that the changelog mentions that. Totally makes up for a huge breaking change on a 0.1 version bump release.</sarcasm>

Agreed. Silent should be silent.

This is still messing me up today. Can’t you get usage statistics from your server?

No, we’re not able to get everything that we want. What can we do to make things better for you?

Why isn’t this flag documented in bower --help?

I’m not sure! Would it be too much to list every single configuration option in --help?
