yet another flood of watchdog() from xmlrpc: buggy drupal.module server code

http://drupal.org/admin/logs/event/25611873

Location: http://drupal.org/xmlrpc.php
Messsage: "Duplicate entry '3377-nmoderation' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO client_system (cid, name, type) VALUES (3377, 'nmoderation', 'module') in /var/www/drupal.org/htdocs/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172."

There are 1000s of entries like this, seem to come in waves...

Seems like a bug in the server code for the drupal.module's phone home stuff. No one looks at these stats (since they're so skewed and incomplete). The new project_usage.module and update(_status?).module is clearly the way to go here:

So, how about we find a way to disable the drupal.module's server side code so that a) we stop logging useless data and b) we stop generating all these php errors (which in turn flood watchdog, which slows down d.o) when we hit the bug that tries to insert duplicate records?

Any objections? Any volunteers? ;)
