Fedora Workstation 42 Cleared To Offer Opt-In Metrics Reporting
Following up on the previously noted proposal around Fedora Workstation 42 looking at adding opt-in user metrics, the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) has now granted approval for this somewhat controversial feature.
As previously explained, the proposal aims to collect more real-world representative information about Fedora Workstation use that would help developers focus their efforts moving forward and help with data/use-case discovery and analysis. The usage reporting is strictly opt-in and care will be taken to not collect identifying personal details, including IP addresses. That change though is still contingent upon GIMP 3.0 being released in time for Fedora 41 so that remaining Python 2 dependency can be dropped.
