What I'd really like is for Little Snitch to start identifying (and blocking if desired) the new generation of phone-home scripts which are bypassing Little Snitch altogether. Some quite sophisticated programmers have wised up and figured out how Little Snitch works and are defeating it. And I'm not talking about the relatively unsophisticated apps which merely add an "Allow" rule to your Little Snitch configuration file without your knowledge.

So, bottom line, don't automatically assume a piece of shareware (or even one commercial app I'm aware of) isn't phoning home and providing your IP and other info without your knowledge...Little Snitch isn't intercepting them all!!

A robust Google search will turn up a lot of data on the subject if you're interested in seeing how widespread Little Snitch bypassing has become of late.
