  i really like this idea but feel conflicted. the privacy conscious side of me loves this… but having worked for early dev-tools startups, without telemetry we’d have had no idea how folks were using our tools or how some experiments played out.

  without question everything should provide opt-out (or even better, opt-in) for telemetry.

  is there middle ground for standardized opt-out vars without it being all or nothing?

  maybe DO_NOT_TRACK_<identifier>?
