I was addressing the reaction. Github has been using GA for years and AFAIK there is no way to opt out via Github account settings. Atom is not something you use on Github; it's a desktop application. If you install a browser, you have the option to NOT send data to the browser vendor, but most people choose to use the default settings. I don't see why we have to think auto opt-in is bad or a bummer. Github even makes it explicit that you can disable GA (or whatever metric software they are using in Atom) in Atom and atom's opt out option is 100x better than Google Plus integration.
