Documentation: Not clear how "offline" interacts with telemetry

The telemetry docs list

When we release the public beta, we'll provide the ability to opt out of telemetry, but during the alpha, it isn't configurable.

But the FAQ lists this instead:

If you don't authenticate, we currently send nothing to our servers.

If you are authenticated, you can still open a project in "offline mode" by clicking the lock next to your project in the contacts panel. At that point, we record the fact that you have a project open, but no other details.

Which sounds slightly confusing to me: On the one hand, telemetry isn't supposed to be configurable (and the ability to opt out will come in beta), but on the other hand it's possible to put a project offline or don't even authenticate and send nothing/barely anything. It's very possible I'm just missing something though!

Closing now that Telemetry opt out is here. Feel free to re-open if you feel this isn't correct.
