Comment (by maxfein):

 just learned about this ticket (thanks @lukecavanagh) and also have a
 problem with this stuff...

 I think there should be clear disclosure of what info is sent where and
 why - and also an opt-out opportunity.

 Even if its to be left to individuals to use filters to change behavior
 there still needs to be documentation. I am astounded that there seems to
 be so much resistance to even documentation.

 also, second the points in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16778#comment:63 and
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16778#comment:73

 dialogue is a good thing, glad that this has gotten more attention
 recently :)
