Hi,

I noticed in the mailing list that you guys only talked about users who are 
installing Ubuntu for the first time, not upgrading from a previous version 
(unless I totally missed it, or misunderstood it):

If I understood it right, then you guys haven't decided whether to leave it 
enabled or disabled by default for users who are upgrading, right?

In my opinion, I think you guys should make it an opt-in thing for users who 
are upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu.  It leaves a sour thought in 
people's minds when they get drafted to something they're against, even though 
they have the option to leave (pretty sure you noticed how this move became 
controversial and a hot topic right now).  I suggest doing a pop up right after 
the upgrade and reboot, or during the upgrade process, that asks them whether 
they want to participate (with VERY detailed info on what you'll be collecting) 
or not.  And maybe leave it unticked.

Personally, I'll help out by giving you guys the data you're asking, but there 
are others who are totally against this, especially the idea of opt-in.

Take care,
Jonas
