 just pointed this out on Twitter as well. The
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation: General
 Data Protection Regulation] is taking effect in May 2018 and it seems that
 does REQUIRE this sort of behavior to be documented, so it seems there is
 a legal side to this too.
