We've heard your concerns and questions. There were many more concerns than we expected. We’re going to process the feedback and rethink our plan. We will not activate product usage tracking on GitLab.com or GitLab self-managed before we address the feedback and re-evaluate our plan. We will make sure to communicate our proposed changes prior to any changes to GitLab.com or self-managed instances, and give sufficient time for people to provide feedback for a new proposal. We'll work in this issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/5672
Here's an MR updating our blog post accordingly: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...

We also rolled back all changes to our Terms of Service and our Privacy policy, and we updated our blog post accordingly: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/10/10/update-free-softwar...
Edit: also, the email you sent out to your users is very different from your blog post. In the blog post you ask for feedback from your users, which is not the case in the email, which is written as an actual announcement that this is going to happen.
