Public bug reported: I tried out the new Ubuntu mode of gnome-initial setup. I went through the steps, and picked "No, don't send any info". Then on the last page the application froze for several seconds (a separate bug), and I saw this message in the console.

I think either we should not send this 'decline' message (this is my preferred option), or we should make it reasonably clear that picking "No" is going to ping home. ** Affects: gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: rls-bb-incoming ** Tags added: rls-bb-incoming ** Description changed: I tried out the new Ubuntu mode of gnome-initial setup.
