But I guess it's matter of definition.
To be fair and friendly, it is perfectly understandable for me the extent, the scope and the usefulness of boot count. And I can reassess the trust I have for Tails and the people that work and maintains it, using also my little money contribution. OTOH this is telemetry; the only way not to have telemetry is not to phone home at all. Ages ago I publicly spoke about this. Today IMHO Tails is not perfect, and this is one reason to say this, but is the absolute best. Keep up the good job.
