In case this isn't clear, the telemetry being discussed is only doing anything when you ask the package manager to connect to a server, to download things.

  It is clear. There is a UUID generated on the user-side to identify them. It’s one thing to collect statistics of downloads on the server side and another thing to profile me. It’s pretty clear to me.

      With that identifier, an individual can be tracked across different networks. This might well make you identifiable. (Not that I think Julia does this)
