Then make the metrics be neither opt-in nor opt-out. Have

The problem is if users are expected to answer, they are going to
probably answer No and it's effectively the same as an opt-in. But if
we have a default value, users will be inclined to leave the default
value.
My plan is to put this switch in gnome-initial-setup, not the
installer. But it will have a default value.
Remember, for avoidance of doubt, we will NEVER enable telemetry upload
without the user's consent, which is indicated by either (a) not
flipping the telemetry switch in gnome-initial-setup to the off
position, or (b) flipping the telemetry switch in gnome-control-center
to the on position. (The telemetry might be enabled *locally only* for
users who upgrade from previous versions of Fedora Workstation and who
therefore have not seen the consent switch, but the data will never be
uploaded to Fedora. And upgraded users will see the switch default to
off rather than on, so it really will be opt-in for upgraded users.)
I'm attaching a screenshot to give an idea of what this would look like
in gnome-initial-setup. I don't have a gnome-control-center screenshot
handy, but it would be similar, except there it would default to off.
