They need to do more consideration if their answer is to tie it to gnome-initial-setup... unless I misunderstand, and this is purely a GNOME-cooked thing I fear what that means where the preference is saved, and how spins (or users who simply choose to not have GNOME), may feasibly opt out Where's the demarcation? Is this some dconf thing that a timer will read, a service, or what? I lack trust in their handling in certain matters. For example, every Fedora device 'phones home' for AP checks: $ cat /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-fedora.conf [connectivity] enabled=true uri=http://fedoraproject.org/static/hotspot.txt response=OK interval=300 Including those that are wired... and that's rather unnecessary. I generally get a sense of haste these decisions, lately. To disable it, mask the /usr file with one in /etc: touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-fedora.conf Another example: systemd-oomd on anything with > 64GB installed; entire user scopes randomly killed with oodles free. I say this in the softest way possible, I don't really mind it... but it raises an eyebrow towards eagerness/attention. <snide>They already get to know how well they're doing being "the premier OS" by seeing how often they get hit.</snide>
