Coding Agent Distros Start Emphasizing Privacy by Default

This reply continues to detail projects in the Privacy direction:
- thedavidweng: A VSCodium-like community distro emphasizing completely turning off analytics tracking and adding privacy CI
- rossnoah: Providing a telemetry kill switch at the patch level, covering release binaries
- amanverasia: groky, focusing on zero telemetry, a multi-provider directory, and Janus configuration
It shows that the coding agent community isn't just making things "run"; they are seriously addressing telemetry, privacy, and distributability.
