   Maybe he means the installer prompt to send system specs ONE TIME after   
   the install to Canonical, or the crash reports you are also prompted to   
   send to help in debugging. Note that in each I said *prompt*, you are   
   given the option each time, and you can inspect the report each time.   
   Hardly "telemetry" as one gets with other OS's.
