Am I right in thinking that existing beta users would be opted

This was in my original message: "As part of the transition, we

the beta channel."
Sorry; I did review your message looking for this, but my eyes must
have skipped over it.
I think that if the "don't bother me now" default for the "data
choices" notice (clicking the X, or dismissing it without answering
in some other way) is opt-out rather than opt-in, then I'm OK with
this change.
My understanding is that it will be opt-out.
I've just realised my statement was totally unclear :-( Sorry about
that. What I meant to say was:
I think that if the "don't bother me now" action for the "data choices"
notice (clicking the X, or dismissing it without answering in some other
way) means the user is opted out (i.e. active opt-in for existing users)
then I'm OK with this change.
Is that what is going to happen?
In terms of whether this is expected behaviour, I think that the
expectation is already in place in the bullet that you previously
listed.
"2. Refine & Polish Give us feedback to help us put the final tweaks
on performance and functionality in a stable environment."
Telemetry is a method to automatically provide the feedback listed
above.
Thing is, I think that bullet is an invitation to give feedback (via
e.g. input.mozilla.org) which is under the user's control ("give"),
rather than a notification that data about your browser instance will be
automatically submitted. Which is why I think existing users should
explicitly opt in, although if we update the explanations, I'm OK with
new users being in by default.
