Just now we had a bit of a kerfuffle with telemetry being enabled in the most popular Lua language server[0]. I can't argue with the specific usecase presented in that GitHub issue, I'm going to keep telemetry enabled. But if you argue that vendors "usually won't be inserting spyware", in the face of evidence like free software products seeing value in phoning home with telemetry data, I think I have the moral right to reject your argument in full. https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/issues/462
