Gitlab ‘rethinking’ third-party telemetry
The negative comments seem largely focused on issues with telemetry per se (which is a big deal, especially in the enterprise), but, for my company, I see an even bigger problem.  There is no way that I would host a solution that includes third-party scripts.  This is simply not negotiable.  I don't care how good that third party's "data protection" is -- the ability to serve up that script means that anyone who compromises the third party, even just a temporary compromise of their front end, has the keys to the kingdom.<p>If you want to collect telemetry, fine.  Do it on a first-party basis, distill it down into one file a month, and let admins upload it if they like.  But the third-party script is a complete nonstarter.
