Acceptance

• Tone of section emphasizes transparency

• Write-up suggests the opt-out mechanism as a less extreme option that preserves the usage statistics for local consumption and troubleshooting purposes, but acknowledges that some organizations may wish to remove the feature entirely

• Instructions for uninstalling the usage statistics feature (aka datachoices) includes Karaf shell walkthrough culminating in feature:uninstall datachoices

• Instructions for blocking the usage statistics feature from loading on future startups includes creation of a file disable_datachoices.boot in the core’s etc/featuresBoot.d/ directory containing the string !datachoices on a line by itself

• Instructions for uninstalling / blocking this feature include a warning that uninstalling the feature removes the possibility of viewing the collected usage statistics locally. These statistics tend to be extremely helpful when seeking support.
