I may be (legitimately) flagged for asking a question that may sound antagonizing ... but asked with sincerity: is at all smart to mention Firefox and transparency in the same sentence, at least at this particular moment in time?

While this no doubt is an overall win, at least for most and in most cases, afaik this isn't completely without problems of its own. I just hope it won't lead to a systemd-like situation, where a cadre of (opinionated) people with power get to decide what's right from wrong, based on their beliefs about what might only be a subset of reality (albeit their only/full one at that).

Not trying to be dismissive here. Just have genuine concerns and reservations. Even if mostly intuitively for now; no concrete ones yet. Maybe it's just a Pavlov-reaction, after reading the name Firefox. Honestly can't tell.
