If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice? I think analytics is really helpful in finding which features are worth developing & which bugs needs to be solved first.

    I would view it as basically a research ethics question, as in you owe the participants of your study to be made fully aware about what you are collecting and why. Giving them the ability to remove their analytics seems obvious as well.
