You got me to read the article. Honestly it seems more transparent and ability to adjust things as the user wishes, which is all good. The switching to weekly uploads versus once per upgrade does seem a bit excessive. For all the things I dislike about Ubuntu that's getting me to slowly switch everything over to Debian this really isn't one of them.

telemetry will still be strictly opt-in

Technically it's opt out. The welcome screen has it toggled on by default. But it is very prominently displayed, not hidden, so I don't mind so much.
