Sure. But I have a question: why? Why should we opt out of the telemetry? To me, this idea seems to not just be admitting defeat, it's ensuring defeat right from the start.
Telemetry should always be opt-in. Yes, that means vendors will get much less data. It's on them to deal with it.
On a related note, I wonder how long it takes until one of the vendors of popular CLI tools or desktop apps get fined for GDPR violation. I wonder how much of existing telemetry already crosses the "informed consent" requirement threshold. I'll definitely be filing a complaint if I find a tool that doesn't ask for it when, by law, it should.
