    i get the importance of telemetry and maybe i worded my inital reply a bit harshly. but you probably will agree that this really does not paint a good picture of red hat with the whole rhel controversy as well

      Highly disagree. Although I’m not content with RH’s decisions during the last few months (especially when it comes to their layoffs), this one shouldn’t even be a controversy at all. It’s just a proposal for a community project. There will be no RedHat threats or higher-up decisions without the consent of the community. That’s the main difference between Fedora (which does have deep ties with RedHat but is through and through a community project) and RedHat (the downstream entreprise).
