Comment (by mor10):

 @matt I've seen how important telemetry is for data driven design and I
 have yet to see you provide any strong arguments against it beyond "we
 already have data" which begs the question "where is that data?"

 You argument for closing this ticket was it was "not within the current
 focus areas." That is no longer the case as @davetgreen points out. I
 would like to see this ticket reopened so we can have an open discussion
 about telemetry. I'm especially interested to know your arguments against
 the proposals, especially why "it's a terrible idea."
