There is ongoing discussion about the ethics and effectiveness of
telemetry following some recent LWN articles that touched on

Thunderbird’s use of opt-out
telemetry and planned metrics in Fedora. The

Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), the nonprofit behind

Let’s Encrypt, has a potential solution to the problem of how to collect and
aggregate telemetry without violating users’ privacy. The scheme is based on a
draft
protocol being standardized with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),
and has an
open-source implementation
available.
