Post-MegaRelease projects

I think telemetry could help in a lot of discussions around UI/UX.

Questions:
1. In which project should we create an issue about telemetry?
2. Where can I see current telemetry data?
3. How many users enabled telemetry, at what level?

Concerns:
4. Storing more data might raise concerns among users.
5. Storing more data is more privacy-sensitive, so it might require more
effort on server side or legal things.
