> Usage telemetry answers questions like “was the feature a good idea?”

You mean you implement something even if nobody asked for it ? Wow.

The project really has some spare budget.



That people ask for it doesn’t make it a good idea. Even if it’s a good idea and people asked for it that doesn’t mean people used it because they might not know about it. Is the feature prominent or intuitive enough? Should it be described in some newsletter or documentation?

You will never know without actually asking enough users (which is a large sample). And there is a simple way of ”asking” this.
