D6tflow: Python library for building data science workflows

I have a strong, negative reaction to this. I read the collection code (in d6collect), and it does as they claim (with perhaps minor qualms about what anonymous really means). And (for now) it's easy to disable without mucking around in the code. But in fact I'm not sure what I was really looking for, since I don't imagine using this library when I might need to reverify that they still aren't collecting anything I don't want to be collected.

On the other hand, I'm glad that they mentioned it --- I would have a much more negative reaction if I had to find this out on my own.

I feel like an even better approach here would have been for the developers to offer the data collection functionality as a separately installed module, and then make the case to the user during installation of the main package.
