The problem is if users are expected to answer, they are going to probably answer No and it's effectively the same as an opt-in. But if we have a default value, users will be inclined to leave the default value.

My plan is to put this switch in gnome-initial-setup, not the installer. But it will have a default value.

Remember, for avoidance of doubt, we will NEVER enable telemetry upload without the user's consent, which is indicated by either (a) not flipping the telemetry switch in gnome-initial-setup to the off position, or (b) flipping the telemetry switch in gnome-control-center to the on position. (The telemetry might be enabled *locally only* for users who upgrade from previous versions of Fedora Workstation and who therefore have not seen the consent switch, but the data will never be uploaded to Fedora. And upgraded users will see the switch default to off rather than on, so it really will be opt-in for upgraded users.)

I'm attaching a screenshot to give an idea of what this would look like in gnome-initial-setup. I don't have a gnome-control-center screenshot handy, but it would be similar, except there it would default to off.
