Non-issue.

It's for VS Code. A bundled and IME a very useful application *.

Many other applications provide the same kind of telemetry for their 
developers to catch errors. I doubt it does anything unless ye run the 
program, which does self-update in normal use so it does need to know an 
Apt repository.

Even this program (thunderbird) has that. If you run it, you will notice 
T&C's to be agreed.

Should we ditch all connected applications because we don't understand them?


* best thing MS ever wrote, IMO.

They even open sourced it. Apache Eclipse picked it up, and I use this 
browser based variant of it from docker running under node.js / electron.
