On my part; quite the contrary. I'll rather celebrate that Ardour is
very much alive and a program I like more the more I use it. I have no
illusions that my internet activity is anonymous anyway, and I'll gladly
share those few bits of information if it helps the developers.

I think "non-tech" and "privacy / security awareness" are mutually
exclusive. Maybe not in principle, but by all practical means. And
anyways, if security and anonymity is something desirable, you would
have to take measures that goes far beyond switching off your DAW's
phone-home-option - measures that most likely would (or should) take
care of any phoning home.
