F40 Change Request: Privacy-preserving Telemetry for Fedora Workstation (System-Wide)

Hi everyone! Thank you all for the passion you’re bringing to this controversial topic — that’s good, but a lot to keep up with. As you may know, this is the first time we’re using Fedora Discussion as the main place for a Change Proposal discussion[1]. I’m glad to see a lot of new and familiar names engaging on the topic.

Discourse[2] has internal threading for replies, but intentionally presents a flat structure. When a conversation gets big like this, that’s quickly overwhelming.

Therefore, we have identified several important themes and created separate break-out conversations for those. I’ve linked them in an edit to the first post way up above, but that’s easy to miss, so I’m repeating here. These are:

If you’d like to read what people have said about those topics, and/or add new related thoughts, please see those topics. As much as possible, please keep this topic for high-level responses or for posts that don’t fit neatly into those categories. (They’re not meant to be comprehensive, just some of the biggest themes.)
