** Description changed:
- We need to provide a way to still report them (save for later and
- collect via a service)
+ [Impact]
+
+ * When users are running gnome-initial-setup (first login), if they don't
have any network configured, the metrics reports silently drop the request. We
are thus ignoring those reports.
+ * There is now the willingness to have those reports included. The less
intrusive way is to drop a pending report file and then having a service (only
activated by a systemd path unit) started, doing exponential backoff until a
network is detected. It doesn't impact thus CPU or network usage.
+ * Reusing the previously pending report ensure we really send that data that
the user acked upon.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Disconnect from any network
+ * Run ubuntu-report send yes
+ * Check that there is a pending report in ~/.cache/ubuntu-report
+ * Connect to a network
+ -> the file should disappear and be sent after a couple of minutes.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * The feature has been heavily tested and backed by new tests.
+ * Any error is already ignored by gnome-initial-setup, so we would end up in
the same situation than today.
