ah yes every repo is tracking you. -_-

well, because enabling a repo only when you need it is sooo difficult -_-
I have been using linux(slackware) since the late 90's. You are the first person I have ever seen even suggest that as an idea.
Really? Slackware came with proprietary repos enabled by default? (I don't remember; I had slackware on floppies).

Even Ubuntu didn't do that; their partners repo is off by default, if you want it, you can enable it. Fedora has similar mechanism, where it asks you when you first time run the Gnome Software.
