> These things include your OS, py version, CPU architecture, Linux distro, whether you're in CI. All baked into the User-Agent header via something called "linehaul". We ripped that out. Now it just sends fyn/0.10.13. That's it.

I imagine it's just that the User-Agent is something that we've grown accustomed to passing information in. I am fairly biased since I'd always opt-in even to popcon. I think it's useful to have such usage information.

This is so useful, I'm shocked they even make a big thing out of it. And now I'm questioning whether this is even their real intention, or just a diversion?

Theyre saying "we removed telemetry" with the hopes of getting an emotional response from people who are privacy-focused, to get quick stars/attention.
