All telemetry collection MUST be an opt-in feature (disabled by

As explained in the proposal document, we know that opt-in metrics are not very useful because few users would opt in, and these users would not be representative of Fedora users as a whole. We are not interested in opt-in metrics.

This strongly suggests that most people would prefer not to provide metrics. But what is hoped that they won't mind it enough to turn things off. I'm not a fan of doing this, but people can reasonably argue it is for the greater good or that most people are misevaluating the trade offs of their data being used to improve things for them.
