Ubuntu Will No Longer Track Which Packages Users Install
Also posted this as a child comment elsewhere in the thread, but:<p>---<p>I don't know about Ubuntu, but while installing Debian the installer makes it very clear what popularity-contest does and asks the user for explicit consent.<p>It also makes it very clear that this setting can be changed later at any time.<p>The default option is "I do not wish to participate", so if someone isn't paying attention during the install process and just hits 'Enter', their privacy remains intact.<p>This, IMO, is the perfect way to do telemetry.
