@feonixrift @davidgerard That might work to their benefit.

Of the entire RasPi userbase, how many folks actually got upset, kicked up a fuss, and gave up on them? Not many. We're a pretty small fraction.

By losing us pains-in-the-ass their business situation improved by suddenly getting simpler because that leaves everybody who doesn't give a fuck for whatever reason. They're much easier to get along with, and thus make money from (because they're a business).

The same thing applies with the Go ecosystem. Plus, so much infrastructure is written in Go that you can't just lift and shift away from it. Not having to put up with us who think their telemetry thing is bullshit simplifies things. We're a small group that's easy to ignore.
