The v2.0 update to the C# extension silently installed a dependency, the .NET Runtime Install Tool extension, that has #telemetry enabled by default.

#Microsoft pushed the update to #VSCode users in early August, and it reached #OpenVSX / #VSCodium users a month later.

There is no indication that the dependency respects the `telemetry.enableTelemetry` setting. You can opt out:

"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.enableTelemetry": false

But personally, I've chosen to uninstall the Ionide, C#, and .NET Runtime Install Tool extensions.

Opt-out is not consent.
