Don't send tracking analytics without explicit opt-in
I recently updated mongosh to 1.7.1 via Homebrew. Little Snitch informs me that the program is reaching out to api.segment.io asynchronously. For privacy reasons, I do not want programs to do that, and such analytics without explicit opt-in may be illegal in the entire EU per the GDPR.
Please remove the analytics/tracking feature or make it configurable only as an opt-in feature.
