F42 Change Proposal: Opt-In Metrics for Fedora Workstation (system-wide)

As someone who was very concerned with the original proposal, I will admit, as others have done already, that this revision appears to be way more considerate towards the userbase and its rights to privacy. It is clear that the owners have taken the feedback seriously and worked hard to get the proposal to adhere to the users’ suggestions and resolve their concerns.

That said, I particularly remember Red Hat’s role in the original proposal posted by @catanzaro :

One of the main goals of metrics collection is to analyze whether Red Hat is achieving its goal to make Fedora Workstation the premier developer platform for cloud software development.

The only reference to Red Hat I was able to find in this new Change Proposal thread, is this:

which is (obviously) directly contradicted by the original Change Proposal, specifically the above quote.

Could we please either add this information (who is driving this change, Red Hat) in the new proposal, or otherwise get a clarification of how this might have changed in the meantime and what exactly Red Hat’s direct involvement might have been in this specific proposal for Telemetry?
