Linux Lite 3.8 Suggestions welcomed

Add Etcher to Lite Software...?.

Here I found this information:

Privacy minded folks will be less than thrilled to hear that the app now relays anonymous stats about package types back to Etcher devs.

If this is true I can't see Etcher fit to LL's philosophy as long as there is no setting to turn it off.
In addition, I still prefer UNetbootin as it does not delete data already on the USB stick (as long as the file/folder name is different), nor does it change the partition(s) itself.
