Decision-Making, Governance, Council, Red Hat — a breakout topic for the F40 Change Request on Privacy-preserving telemetry for Fedora Workstation

Well, I am very, very upset.

I see some long time users already leaving Fedora, some consider to switch if this proposal will be approved, some new potential users who were planning to install Fedora now looking for alternative distros…

Damage is already done.

To fix it somehow I have a completely opposite proposal, some kind of Declaration that Fedora always be without any telemetry forever. That should prevent any new proposal attempts to include telemetry into Fedora in the future.

Because I have a feeling that in case the current proposal was rejected, there would be a new attempts maybe in a several months, like for example to add telemetry in Fedora, but only opt-in this time.
