portal for anonymous telemetry. Hear me out!
Many developers want to have telemetry so that they can learn about how their app is used and how they perform.
It can lead to better software, but it's also a privacy nightmare 
Currently, apps need to enable full network for it (or more) and users have 0 control over it. This is happening. Right now.
What if there was a way to remove all the negative aspects of telemetry so that we can consider it safe? 
1/2 
With a telemetry portal for apps, we could
• Let the user enable or disable telemetry per app
• Be transparent about what is being sent
• batch, throttle and schedule transmissions
• deduplicate efforts to collect generic info
Combined with a trusted server to process and relay, we can
• anonymize
• aggregate
• make public
Worth thinking about, no?

@sonny I'm all for anything that can make the Linux community more open to telemetry! It is so needed! Go forth and do it! :)
