One of my hopes for the next ten years is that we normalize collecting and graphing of telemetry data over time, for things like binary size, disk space, memory usage, and network bandwidth.

We are fairly good at tracking feature regressions, but it's always only a couple voices calling for tracking these metrics, which are a part of the cost of doing business, one that we often have control over. We shouldn't have to wait for a major event to start looking at these sorts of things.

One of my hopes is that "we" (i.e., the software development industry) STOP collecting telemetry data.
You are talking about human telemetry, unless I’m mistaken. I don’t disagree with you. We’re gonna collect telemetry, but some of it helps us without hurting others.
