Phenomenal reporting from Ars technica here. It's releving to see Muse get carefully exonerated here. I do feel sorry for them Oh and per the original isssue, perhaps Poettering needs to go be the sacrificial lamb and make a "telemetryd" so users can send crash reports to the devs they trust, and also possibly send them via intermediaries to filter out distro-sepcific stuff. Whatever you think of auto-updates or telemtry, doing them ad-hoc and app-specific is not the distro way, and surely worse. Also the hate mail over telemetryd will be hilarious.
