Comment (by misc):
Sure, we need more to do a proper protection, but if we can't even do the
simpler change because we prefer easing the tracking of users by a 3rd
party that give us metrics (even if that 3rd party is wikipedia), it
really send the message that privacy is not a priority at all.
And the example of ISP sponsoring Fedora is a bit curious.
Either they sponsor hosting, so websites under the control of Fedora team
(and so, sharing logs seems to be against the privacy policy, so I suspect
we don't).
Or they sponsor a mirror, and I suspect they already have the path of
downloaded file, and it is quite obvious that Fedora rpms and artefacts
are downloaded by Fedora users, so we do not need specific tracking in
curl or firefox for that.
Also, where where theses requests for tracking made, cause I didn't see
that in the tickets, but I get lot of mails, so I may have missed it. I
would be quite interested to see if their requests are in line with
European laws, and act in accordance to it.
