The most hated part of IPv6 is that people (like you) have no clue what they're talking about. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Notation and you'll learn that you CAN use 2001:0618:71A3:0801:1319:0211:FEC2:82DC but, most likely, you won't have to, because you'll just need 2001:0618:71A3:: and if you still bitch that it's still "too long" then come up with a better, permanent solution instead of complaining.

it will report to Canonical over HTTP the number of times this system previously sent to Canonical (this counter is stored locally and with it running on a daily basis it's thereby indicating how many days the Ubuntu installation has been active), the Ubuntu distributor channel, the product name as acquired by the system's DMI information, and which Ubuntu release is being used. That's all that canonical-census does

So why is it an issue?

at least for now

Come back when there is a serious problem.

Previously there haven't been such Ubuntu tracking measures attempted by Canonical.

So if there would have been any previous attempts, this wouldn't have been a story?
