Go Telemetry Wins
summary
Go adds opt-in weekly counters written to small binary files that the toolchain translates to JSON and—only if enabled—uploads a few kilobytes per week. The upload selection comes from golang.org/x/telemetry/config (a Go module) with sampling tuned to ~10,000 reports/week. Uploaded data contains only approved counter names and function-name stack counters; all raw reports are republished as public raw reports. Telemetry already found a compiler panic (index out of bounds in embed file handling) enabling a quick fix.
