In general, I don't have a problem with reporting back system state so long as: - it's obvious to the user that they're sharing data - it's clear to the user which data is being shared - the user consents to sharing it These are all somewhat open to interpretation, so take it as a statement of principle rather than a policy. -- - mdz -- technical-board mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
