    [$] "Opt-in" metrics planned for Fedora Workstation 42

    Description:
    Red Hat, through members of the Fedora
    Workstation Working Group , has taken another
    swing at persuading the Fedora Project to allow metrics related to
    the real-world use of the Workstation edition to be collected. The first proposal , aimed for Fedora40, was withdrawn to be reworked
    based on feedback . This time around, the proponents have shifted from
    asking for opt-out telemetry to opt-in metrics, with more detail about
    what would be collected and the policies that would govern data collection. The
    change seems to be on its way to approval by the Fedora Engineering
    Steering Council (FESCo) and is set to take effect for
    Fedora42.
