Comment (by robscott):

 Put me down as a +1 on not sending any data unless admin approves of its
 being sent.

 Add one on for telling admin where data is going - specifically - and what
 the data will be used for, specifically.

 Whether its personal data or not - that's a problem for the ultimate data
 controller to square away with their legal team. Whether that entity be
 the WordPress Foundation or another corporate entity relies upon access to
 information I do not have.

 We can continue hooking and blocking the phone home in business contexts
 where this is regarded as desirable. I feel that to expect this of an
 "ordinary person" or "man on the Clapham Omnibus" may be perhaps a step
 too far.
