Hi,
I noticed in the mailing list that you guys only talked about users who are=
installing Ubuntu for the first time, not upgrading from a previous versio=
n (unless I totally missed it, or misunderstood it):
> We would like to add a checkbox to the installer, exact wording TBD, but =
along the lines of =93Send diagnostics information to help improve Ubuntu=
=94. This would be checked by default.
If I understood it right, then you guys haven't decided whether to leave it=
enabled or disabled by default for users who are upgrading, right?
In my opinion, I think you guys should make it an opt-in thing for users wh=
o are upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu. It leaves a sour though=
t in people's minds when they get drafted to something they're against, eve=
n though they have the option to leave (pretty sure you noticed how this mo=
ve became controversial and a hot topic right now). I suggest doing a pop =
up right after the upgrade and reboot, or during the upgrade process, that =
asks them whether they want to participate (with VERY detailed info on what=
you'll be collecting) or not. And maybe leave it unticked.
Personally, I'll help out by giving you guys the data you're asking, but th=
ere are others who are totally against this, especially the idea of opt-in.
Take care,
Jonas
