Hey everyone, welcome to round two.
If you’re interested in joining the proposed metrics SIG, please contact me. I hope to be wrong, but I expect it may be difficult to find people who are interested in participating. If you’ve contributed anything to Fedora before, you’re probably a good fit for this SIG. (It’s not limited to software developers.)
Probably, yes. (It would also be permissible under this proposal to allow the user to continue without answering, if this results in metrics being disabled.)
Metrics will always be off after installation and only enabled during gnome-initial-setup. I suspect other Fedora editions will want to add their own metrics in the future, but this proposal is only for Fedora Workstation, so gnome-initial-setup is all we care about. Other editions would need to figure this out in future change proposals.
We should be able to block simple attacks, but honestly a sophisticated attacker is likely to win. There shouldn’t be much incentive to launch such an attack, but… well, this is the internet we’re talking about…
