I was thinking quite a lot whether to send this message or not (honestly I am still not sure because there is probably no constructive criticism but as a user of Fedora I think that I can express my opinion on this thing anyway).
In past there was a name - Lennart Poettering. Quite a lot of controversy but despite the fact that he was/is not the most beloved person in community he looks like a saint to me when compared to you, mr. Catanzaro. At home I am using WIndows 11, it took me quite lot of work to get rid of telemtry services in this OS (I use it as a gaming platform). You are basically harming the Linux communit (well I think that everything bad started with the IBM buying RedHat but lets not discuss this).
You want telemetric data from people, fine. But ask them. It is completely false asumption to thinlk that you can do it and if people dont want it they can disable it. This is plain and simple. If you cannot understand it (when reading hundreds of comments I tend to beleive that you DO NOT understand it) than what are you really doing for comunity? Well fortunatelly Linux means free world and no one forces me to use Fedora. If the proposal will pass Fesco than I am sure going to look after alternatives becase RHEL is trying to actively destroy my trust in freedom and privacy. I do hope that FESCO is still full of free and open-minded people.
Just a note: after IBM bought RHEL I stopped periodically updating my Fedora because I did not trust that the merge would be in favour of users so I am staying 2-3 releases behind in order to make sure that I will not get anything unxpected. So far you have proven me right, major things to mention - killing CentOS, trying to kill Alma, Rocky etc., now despite community backslash pushing wrong telemetry proposal (well I think that it is wrong if majority of people do not agree to this proposal, right…)… And those issues are only from the point of view of user.
