I personally want the option of enabling such telemetry, as it may well serve my needs and may also give the developer valuable usage and/or crash info which is the least I can provide in return for such a great FOSS app as Audacity.

My 2 cents:  :)

I like options, but I would feel more secure if it were implemented in a separate,
dynamically linked when opted-in,
    some-implementation.so
which I could get the kernel to prevent access to, e.g. by
    # chmod 400 some-implementation.so
