But your comment says: > but this "opt-out, merge-with-Google" thing is exactly the reason why I'm avoiding a lot of Google's services It's opt-in, you call it an "opt-out, merge-with-Google" thing. How is that not calling it opt-out? Your comment or at least its intent is confusing.

You're right, I did actually write that although I did not mean to imply that this particular thing is opt-out. Corrected now, thank you.

Although, if activating this feature doesn't explicitly warn you that they're merging your account(s) with a Google/Gmail account, then it's worse than an opt-out.
