> [...] we're pumping the brakes on the telemetry changes

So you revert (don't implement it)? Thx! Reverting it is the right decision (I hope that means "pumping the brakes").

From what I can tell they're still going to do it, but in a different way, e.g. it might be opt in (hopefully not in a fake-opt-in style like a GDPR popup) or opt out or whatever.

Fundamentally they want to do telemetry it seems and are trying to figure out a hack to get people to accept it.

(GitLab employee) we're discussing other options too, I'm personally advocating strongly against just going ahead with the current plan. My preference would be for no third-party involvement and just better ways to analyze the data we already have
