Note this Reddit comment by what appears to be a couple of MS devs:

(fourbadcats) Indeed. This sure better be an oversight of something not disabled when transitioning from release candidate to RTM. We will lose credibility with our customers if we claim that our application does not collect any usage data when this is going out over the wire. I noticed that notelemetry.obj is not present with VS 2015 Update 1 so this may have been introduced with Update 2. Let's hope it's gone in Update 3.

If they used something like Perfect Forward Secrecy, could they not legitimately have claimed to be unable to defeat their own system (as it is currently configured)?

This topic/article should have been re-titled, "Rob Pike on Why Go continues to be incorrectly marketed to systems programmers".

Go is not a systems programming language, since it gives barely a passing nod to control. Thus, it does not fall in the same core domains of C++ or C.

So, the only "escape clause" US courts have given against this kind of intrusion is end-to-end encryption, hardware and all?
