Poll about Fedora OPT-OUT telemetry metrics proposal
(discussion.fedoraproject.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The right way to implement telemetry:
I agree with everything, except the second point. If I already opted-in I don't want to be prompted every time that telemetry is uploaded. I wouldn't mind a notification informing me that telemetry has been sent while also allowing me to review it.
Also, it almost goes without saying that I should also be able to opt-out at any time, even after explicitly opting-in.
