> The external guide for linking should be ready soon...
Please keep in mind that we (probably) cannot link to any other place that
wordpress.org. When a user clicks on a link, the linked site gets the
referring site's "private information", IP address / domain name. This is
pretty much the same as when WordPress checks for updated...
I'm not sure how that is/will be handled under the GDPR, but for now seems
that any user is "spreading" any site's "private info" by clicking on any
external link.
