Nope. Fedmsg is what we're using to carry information about events (for instance, $username voted in $election). Badges consumes the information from fedmsg looking for particular events that it awards badges for. So disabling badges only disables the badge awarder piece. It doesn't address the underlying privacy question in a meaningful way.</p>
