Using an empty config, the debug output of "az" calls shows this:

| cli.azure.cli.__main__: Command ran in 0.598 seconds (init: 0.103, invoke: 0.495)
| telemetry.main: Begin splitting cli events and extra events, total events: 1
| telemetry.client: Accumulated 0 events. Flush the clients.
| telemetry.main: Finish splitting cli events and extra events, cli events: 1
| telemetry.save: Save telemetry record of length 3823 in cache
| telemetry.main: Begin creating telemetry upload process.
| telemetry.process: Creating upload process: "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/azure/cli/telemetry/__init__.py /home/bastian/.azure"
| telemetry.process: Return from creating process
| telemetry.main: Finish creating telemetry upload process.

As telemetry is not fundamental for the functioning of the program, it
needs to get user approval first.

It's the submitter who has to justify the severity, not the
maintainer, hence the commonly used "Justification:" tag.
