Originally on May 4th they planned on Using Google and Yandex for Telemetry1 has been cause for concern from the Open Source, Privacy Minded, and especially the Close-Knit Audacity Communities.

  Discontinued Tenacity is an easy-to-use, privacy-friendly, FLOSS, cross-platform multi-track audio editor/recorder for Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.

Audacity will be fine and will continue to be at the top but I think we will see some new popular Forks/Competitors out there, such as this one8, that may or may not rise to the challenge of maintaining a complex application and be able to keep it up to date, work on bugs and issues and also continue to upgrade its feature set an UI. Its something I plan on paying attention to for the foreseeable future and hope this serves as a reminder, Much like OpenJDK, OpenOffice and XFree86 before them, to any other open source projects or Corporate Companies that buy up the Open Source Community Projects that they need to stay true to the community and the Open Source ethos.
