the sad thing is that this has been out for 9 months. If Kite was looking for stats to help inform their product development they already got all the data they need.

they're also obscuring who this log data is being sent to by just posting JSON to an ec2 IP address (52.52.168.91). The server tries hard to not let you know it belongs to Kite. You know someone is ashamed of what they're doing when they take efforts to mask who's doing it.

But you can see kite's own installer uses the same ip address for its telemetry: https://github.com/kiteco/kite-installer/blob/master/ext/tel...

It might be worth searching every release in the package_control_repo for this IP address...

https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel/tree/master...

Seems not to be included in any other file on github: https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%2252.52.168.91%2...

Shouldn't this search find the kite-installer repo? The IP does not exist anymore in SideBarEnhancements but is still in this repo: https://github.com/kiteco/kite-installer/blob/master/ext/tel...

Shown when you hover over the question mark.

or maybe any plain ip address... Or the more solid precaution may be to interpose on the sublime supplied network interface api and give people a log of which packages are accessing the network and what addresses.
