It bothers me quite a bit to read that we’ve normalized telemetry as much as we have. If you’d asked more or less any random hacker 10 years ago if any of this was remotely OK they’d all be slack-jawed to learn what has happened. Where did all the privacy conscious hackers go? Did they all get replaced when JavaScript and Electron became the norm?

I wrote more about the consent aspect here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35706897

tl;dr If we roll this out to customers, we'll be asking for consent, and won't be collecting telemetry data unless we have it.
