useful to add, or out of idea what to add.
In fact, the telemetry is likely to be used for deciding whether to remove
features which are least used by users or not, instead.
Audacity has reached the peak of its productive software development. It can
either sustain it, or go down. Si, I won't expect Audacity to be "better" at
this point on.

Always was a clone of Cool Edit, although how the latter's
documentation differs from Audacity might be appreciable. I somehow
doubt Adobe changed a word before doubling the price.
