a proposal to add opt-out telemetry in fedora is being discussed on fedora forums
(discussion.fedoraproject.org)
It should be opt-in.
It should be opt-in if they want to maintain their reputation while introducing telemetry.
Looks like a broken windows theory example. Reminds me of the situation with the CentOS sources.
I think this is successive stories and probing the ground.
