I think a lot of users don't actually interact directly with the CLI. Think IDEs, editors, CI/CD. You'd be cutting them out, again skewing the stats heavily.

- anonymousab 4y agoThat's true. I think this would therefore need to be a bit of a breaking change for that tooling - systems that integrate with Go would need to be updated to deal with this prompt. Whether that's showing it to users or autofilling an answer with a --telemetry==x flag, that's up to them and their community. Is that painful? Yes. Would it turn some people away from Go through this kind of friction? Sure. IMO those kinds of costs and pain points should be necessary considerations of adding telemetry. Worth at least a minor version change, and therefore not too crazy that it would cause some annoyance.
