"Home+Lab has been installed thousands of times in 2023 alone."
This seems to indicate that nearly nobody was using it, even counting the illicit activities of the multiple appliance vendors.
If I have a modest lab automation with solid bracketing of fw release versions on some network scenarios, I could easily account for thousands of on-install telemetry entries per week.
I can imagine Hetzner alone would account for thousands upon thousands of installs.
Just based on their phrasing, I doubt there will be a massive influx to opnSense.
