> Note: This repository is probably useless outside of internal HashiCorp use. It is open source for disclosure and because our open source projects must be able to link to it.

Should we consider a downstream patch that permanently disables these checkins, but maintains the API so that calling code can continue to function? Leaving the telemetry calls enabled by default puts the responsibility to enable/disable the telemetry to the downstream packagers, or possibly to the users. This would allow Fedora's RPMs to run within HashiCorp, but does that bring any more value than having to remember to always disable the checkin downstream? I'm leaning towards carrying a patch in this RPM that disables the checkin and telemetry.
