  "You're not important. We might do this if you were someone who mattered." Sad to see such, ah, well-socialized people in open in source projects.

  From the link: > I would rather see the different packager managers sit together and work on that standard. And especially big players should get involved, like the debian/ubuntu apt people, the fedora people, the nixpkg people, pip, node and all the others. It’s almost as if any of the mentioned package managers has opt-out tracking code embedded in their CLIs.

    To be fair, Debian has popularity-contest. (You have to install the package manually – or via a prompt in the installer; if you don't, you don't even have the tracking code on your system.)

      THIS is the way telemetry should be. A completely separate opt-in only add-on. I don't trust flags, I've accidentally forgotten to check them myself countless time.

  The best part of that discussion is how one Homebrew maintainer says "I'd like to see package managers implement this first", and when someone from Arch goes "we don't track at all" the big chief comes in and says "Run your package manager how you want/need and we'll do the same.". The guy also seems quite rude for someone with "Rude people blocker" in his bio.
