> When you install a compiler who's respecting your privacy, and without opt in it starts sending telemetry, you can't expect that to go well.

Are the currently deployed and used versions of the go compiler going to suddenly start sending telemetry? Or is it just a future version that someone would have to deliberately upgrade to?

Personally, when a new version of golang comes out, I like to read the release notes and then adjust my build environments with the necessary environment changes for the new features.



reading release notes for upgrades is the only correct way.

regardless i think we should hold open source projects to higher standards, such that telemetry isn’t introduced by default.
