I see this numbers as over-optimistic, since: * The change will only apply to Fedora Workstation users, not all Fedora users * Many pro users (probably a big percentage of the total Fedora users, due to the nature of Fedora) will disble the telemetry Overall, my pov is: this change is acceptable only if it is 100% opt-in. Opt-out is not a valid way of saying "user consent", and can also be considered a dark pattern (illegal in many places, immoral everywhere).
