"in Gitlab" has 2 meanings - Gitlab cloud and Gitlab on-premises. For customers running off-the-grid or in countries with enhanced privacy (GPDR?) laws and restrictions on where their data lives, this is not what they signed up for. Nor was the timeline forced on them reasonable in any way. Imagine your Oracle software TOS says we will now export anonymized data from your SQL queries to somewhere out there in the cloud ? What if it was a HIPAA-compliant hospital datacenter ?

We wouldn't want first-party telemetry either, we don't want _any_ data leaving our datacenter, period.
