(Telemetry) Pseudonymization Feedback and Question
- simpss 5y agoFull disclosure, I have some rather strong feelings about telemetry on gitlab and the implementation process itself. ----------------------- I originally posted a different issue labeled "Pseudonymization MVC Rollout Plan"[1] but that issue went private rather quickly after appearing here. Sadly it wasn't archived. To keep this issue from just going private, it (and some other relevant issues) have been archived: http://web.archive.org/web/20211012193943/https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335709 http://web.archive.org/web/20211012193943/https://gitlab.com...
