Telemetry is one of those topics that comes with a lot of baggage. Coupled with Google's baggage and we see the inevitable response. I have a similar impression as you - people saw the word "telemetry" and thought they'd read enough.

I thought Cox's posts were great. I came in thinking, "telemetry? hell no!" but came away thinking he made a good case. People can still disagree over it but some of the misinformation is absolutely unbelievable.

Yep, it seems like a well thought out proposal. If only it wasn't:

a) Backed by Google

b) Intended to be enabled by default

... then it might be worth considering. Unfortunately, either one of those is a show stopper all by itself.
