What's the point of telemetry in Firefox if anyway the devs do whatever they want ignoring users requests?

I mean, I think the point is to know whether it's the loudest users or the majority of users.

I do think there's a serious problem of removing the human element though. Ticking off 20% of your users might not be a big problem ... unless those 20% of your users are your biggest advocates. That's where I think Mozilla at times loses the forest for the trees.

Good point. Gnome syndrome.
