Neither crash reports nor auto-updates are vital to the functioning of the program.

It doesn't seem so weird to me to have an application ask for permission first. Something most applications do anyway.

I was more responding to the - in my opinion ridiculous - notion that even apps that don't require the internet to function at all should be expected to phone home by default, and that auto updates are an essential.

Nevertheless, it's good to know they've chosen an opt-in construction for Audacity!
