Hi there,

(yes I still exist)

Just a quick opinion-free comment on what Mozilla does with Firefox, re:

The success of this overall project is closely related to the percentage of
users that participate. I do not question the opt-in mechanism - this follows
our free software philosophy (even though Firefox e.g. does this differently
IIRC).

For the Telemetry feature Mozilla uses:

+ Opt-out for users of Nightly, Developer Edition (née Aurora)
  and Beta, with a first-start information bar being displayed

+ Opt-in for users of Firefox Release, with a first-start information
  bar being displayed

Mozilla has two other similar phone-home functionalities, both of which seem to be always opt-out: Health Report (for performance data) and Crash Reporter (allows you to choose not to send a crash report each time anyway). There is also the add-on block list (plays a large in role in determining the number of Firefox users), which is hard to opt out of at all and safe browsing which downloads data (and sends cookies) to Google which too is opt-out.

Stefan.
