Would really prefer it to be opt-in instead of opt-out as others have said. Sharing the info with Homebrew is one thing, the GA borg-malware is another entirely

Would really prefer it to be opt-in instead of opt-out as others have said. Sharing the info with Homebrew is one thing, the GA borg-malware is another entirely. Something like that should require an explicit request. At least in the browser, I can blacklist all requests with uBlock.
