We've heard your concerns and questions. There were many more concerns than we expected. We’re going to process the feedback and rethink our plan. We will not activate product usage tracking on GitLab.com or GitLab self-managed before we address the feedback and re-evaluate our plan. We will make sure to communicate our proposed changes prior to any changes to GitLab.com or self-managed instances, and give sufficient time for people to provide feedback for a new proposal. We'll work in this issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/5672
Here's an MR updating our blog post accordingly: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...
