   It is not just nasty to customers. It is public evidence of commitment to an illegal policy after the CFO was informed of the legal problems. Not sure how you can do something worse.

   Most companies won't allow telemetry nor arbitrary code fetched from the Internet in their private network. It is common sense. Some are even legally required to ensure that.

   No, it is not. We have been selling software for decades without telemetry and it worked just fine. I am more than willing to help GitLab, but telemetry in a VCS is simply a red flag (even a legal impediment in many cases).

   Self-hosting was going to have telemetry, which is simply a dealbreaker for many companies. And it may still have it. I just don't trust GitLab's management anymore.
