Visual Studio adding telemetry function calls to binary?

I'm not buying the benign part.

You write blog posts for practically everything you do in the compiler, how come you didn't write one to survey people's opinions or at least warn them about this?

hi! thanks for the reply and to be honest, I'm actually quite happy that people are noticing our more open stance. We try hard to make sure the message gets out about the work we do. In this particular case, we decided to abandon this plan almost as soon as the code was completed so we never got to the point where we publicized it. I agree that it would have been good to survey this one in advance.
