       | Like for npm, correct way is                 "./bin/do.sh &&
       | NO_TELEMETRY=1 vendor build"
       | 
       | Incorrect:                 "NO_TELEMETRY=1 ./bin/do.sh && vendor
       | build"
       | 
       | With the latter, the environment variable to disable telemetry
       | doesn't get passed in to the vendor script.
