Is this the same cheat as with Fedora's "installation ids" and Firefox's
"phone home" features?
This stuff is activated by default, which means at the point a user
deactivates them, he already is "collected".
This metrics system will be really disabled until it is enabled.
This only works because the dnf installation counting metrics are
enabled by default, though.
IMO, this and firefox's behavior needs to be changed, ASAP. Their
behavior is intolerable.
Without the dnf metrics to compare to, we
wouldn't be able to know how many users agree to enable metrics
collection unless we send one metrics event to indicate that metrics are
being turned off. This is going to be a pretty imperfect comparison, but
it will have to suffice because I figured an "I don't want to enable
metrics" metric would not be well-received.
My point is: Any "metrics", which makes individuals identifiable must be
strictly optional. One way to make this possible would be to make the
packages implementing this strictly optional.
