  I made an assumption, based on the data collected for gammaray. But on second check, it seems that it uses it's own implementation of kuserfeedback.
  Changed the description. Confused or not, if it is wrong, it is misleading.

  Agree. (My problem was accessing private from public.)
  
  > Some usage stuff is retained regardless, but as you note it is because it is used for the notification reminder.

  Local data that are used for the functionality of the program, should not used as telemetry data. Tracking for telemetry should start when the user choose.
  
  An option "Don't remind me again" should exist. And it would be inappropriate to keep tracking if enabled, as they would serve no purpose.
  
  Keep in mind that this patch has many faults, and only uploaded as a discussion point.
  Including all other, would also like to see a separate switch for surveys, for example.
