Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

The vscode-commons dependency irks some users.

Describe the solution you would like

Before the latest release is fully rolled out, we should revert the change ASAP and try to find an alternative to the currently correct technical solution.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Simply removing the vscode-commons dependency might cause some runtime errors, it seems safer to rollback telemetry as a whole for now.

I can remove dependency, and make sure that vscode-yaml will work without vscode-commons.

@spirillen VS Code implements telemetry collection by default, you have to explicitly opt-out.
On the other hand, Red Hat extensions implement telemetry collection as an anonymous (as in no personally identifiable data, not even IP address is collected), opt-in process, so no data is collected until you explicitly agree.

And vscode-yaml is currently not implementing telemetry collection.
