Is telemetry still sent even when disabled?

Ah; is this disabling it for k0s not k0sctl? 🤯

I've set:

DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true

in my env, and it appears to have stopped warning me when using the command. Can you confirm my config does disable the telemetry?

Also, sending telemetry is not mentioned at all in your docs - only in the LICENSE, and the CLI flag is hidden, which seems rather out of sight -- would you mind if I make PR to fix this?

Sounds good to me!

You can see the telemetry events when running with --trace.
