False alarm! We have disabled analytics reporting for user branches, but as a result of this the flag does not get updated until you switch to a real branch. We should probably update this to still perist the setting, but it isn't as severe.

Updating the analytics flag on a user branch is a bit tricky to support without punching holes in package:usage. We should instead consider an error message like "Not updating analytics settings because you are on a local branch. Switch to master/dev/beta/stable and try again".
