Hey guys, smolt is in a state now where it can be released and tested by the general public. Currently smolt-firstboot has firstboot integration with opt in/out. My question for the dev's is:
Do we as a community want to include this by default in Fedora 7?
OK, now that you have asked, you'll be prepared to facing a very clear answer: NO, NEVER.
It must be strictly optional and even then, it should require explicit interactive user activation.
I am not willing to accept any unsupervised, non-opt-in data transmission from any package in Fedora and will prepare a proposal to change the Fedora Package Guidelines accordingly.

Lucky for me then, I based the firstboot integration off of the EULA. Its very easy to opt out of.
