This comment should be at the top.

Actions speak infinitely louder than promises. And this is even more true when those actions are unpopular. Their claim doesn't even make any sense. If you don't want the telemetry of WINE users then you don't block them, you simply don't collect their telemetry, or you discard it.

Or better yet: you include it, and actually evaluate it as part of the mix of expected clients. Deliberately excluding certain classes of datapoints doesn't strike me as something that'll produce a maximally-useful dataset.

At least going by the two quoted posts, that seems pretty unlikely - I mean, if that would be the intention, they would have probably mentioned it to calm things down? Instead, they write "I cannot provide a specific timeline for this support".

They did mention it, but the wording is weird.
