From that link, it doesn't exactly sound like they've ruled out the possibility of adding this tracking to EE too however - and reading between the lines, it sounds like they'd prefer telemetry to be enabled by default if & when that does happen?

We are not adding Pendo or Snowplow JS snippets to self-hosted versions at this time. We are carefully considering the appropriate opt-out functionality for telemetry that will work best for our customers, and we will clearly communicate to those customers when any change is made.

Right. That basically says "We're going to back off until people stop paying attention, then ram in the anal probe".

> opt-in by default

So ... opt-out?

Thanks :) Comment edited to (hopefully) clarify the language.

it seems pretty clear they intend to add it to EE eventually. Every single time they talk about it, they say, "we're not considering changing EE at this time".
