should be disableable during install

[yukulele]

To disable this package I need to install it, run it, open package panel and disable it.
But on the first run metrics is enabled and can send infos while I not disable it.

This activation should be an opt-in during install.

It's pretty easy to have a very negative reaction to learning that metrics are enabled by default. A friend, upon learning it:

Wow, didn’t know about that… and holy ** does that piss me off.
They should not have that bull* enabled by default… that should be opt-in.
What they are collecting is completely innocuous, but I should be notified that it is happening, and where I can see the source… it gets turned off because of a lack of manners.

Thank you @technicalpickles for quoting me above. I completely get the desire to understand how people are using your software, but you should respect the user and enabling those metrics by default (with no notification of such) shows the complete opposite.

This is a disgrace to a project that claims to be open. Some one needs to fork this project because obviously the maintainers don't care.

@Goddard Please don't post the same commentary on >1 bug. Your opinion has been noted.

Would be nice if it wasn't just locked to collaborators...

It was locked because the comments weren't contributing to the discussion, unfortunately. As @benogle said though, it is near the top of the list, and I'm certain that updates will continue to be posted in that issue as they appear.
