You could point out what the code is doing (if you believe it’s doing something else) instead of being snarky. Or you, know, make a comment that’s on-topic (since this thread is about telemetry in nixpkgs and not what devenv specifically is or isn’t doing). But where’s the fun in that?

EDIT: In any case, [Pre-RFC: Add Telemetry Meta Attribute](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/pre-rfc-add-telemetry-meta-attribute/60342) seems to be a more fruitful discussion than whatever’s going on here.
