Comment (by xkon):

 @danieltj I can't for the sake of my sanity ( :D ) go through what anyone
 thinks and understands as personal data.

 I can say this: You are focusing on GDPR ( maybe we should go further than
 that and we will at some point ) because everything at the moment goes
 around it. There's also ePD and an extra ton of different stuff to
 consider that nobody has for years now as they are completely legal (laws,
 papers etc) and nobody had time to check or the idea that they even
 existed. So not everything is 'just' about GDPR.

 GDPR came as a slap because there where other laws and regulations in
 place for years now that everybody ignored. So somebody decided 'enough'
 everybody has to get in-line, for whatever reason that might be either we
 like it or not.

 Point: In some countries it's a fact, everything is personal data and
 goverments per country will be able to adjust GDPR to an extent that they
 see fit for their own countrys/peoples interest, we have no idea yet what
 each country will bring to the table of course until that's done.

 So basically the talk you heard has nothing to do with the talks that we
 hear or the talks in another country so on so forth if you get the idea
 :D, as they speak with different standards even if the major label is
 GDPR. We have to include 'everybody' unfortunately not what individuals
 per country / law system say. If 50% says green and 50% says red, in my
 opinion we have to bring Green + Red as options to help everyone if
 possible.

 I won't force anybody into this mindset, I'm not even forcing myself to be
 honest :) and that's why all the questions. At the end of the day I could
 just upload a patch for proposal to save myself from keyboard overload and
 if it gets turned down then so be it, but I don't like that approach :D .

 As for the `wp-config.php` you mentioned, I stated on my previous comment
 that the idea is to give everyday users a way out of techy things I don't
 know why you're pointing to that direction again.
