At the moment "Explicit opt-in" is winning.

About opt-in, Red Hat employee Michael Catanzaro, who proposed the change, said:

I will NOT consider modifying this proposal such that the data collection is opt-in. I’m open to feedback on everything else, but not that, because there is no use for garbage data. If the Fedora community requires that this be opt-in, then I would give up on the proposal and we’ll just not have any telemetry.

If he's not lying, it looks like there won't be any telemetry at all. Still, the fact they planned and proposed such stuff is concerning.
