I personally considered it quite clear that the intended meaning was that
they are not giving the data away to anyone external deliberately. Your
responses will be read and understood by a very small group of people and
not published in raw form. Yes there are servers and software providers
along the way. But this way you could also include the ISPs who also are
not prevented from snooping in your packets (and it's trivial at least for
plain text emails). And even if they provided a "direct" way to send your
responses to their email, and we ignored the ISPs, still, Google is the
email provider for most RedHatters. So there's no improvement at all.

I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it, but the points mentioned are
common for most data submissions anywhere. I don't think it was the core of
the message.
