>Go tool is an open-source development tool - people expect open-source development tools to serve the users, not the developers (to the detriment of the user). That's the whole point of the whole open-source (and free-software) movement. [A significant number of] users do not want their tools to send any data from their machines that they themselves haven't allowed it to
Sorry, but I think you just made it up.
OSS makes stuff somewhat transparent and auditable, thats it.
Also users do benefit indirectly by telemetry because they get better tools.
Anyway what would be the other benefit of dev? That he has to spend his unpaid free time on fixing yet another crash report?
Whats wrong with anonymouse tel. collection.

Which makes users expect it to not have nasty stuff like spyware (ahem, "opt-out telemetry") bundled with it. > Whats wrong with anonymouse tel. collection. Nothing, we're not talking about anonymous telemetry collection per-se, we're talking about telemetry being opt-out.
