 As long as comment form is highly customizable,
 As long as plugins may accept internally emails that comply the following
 RFC : RFC822 (year 1982), 2822 (year 2001), 532x (year 2010), 653x (year
 2012),
 As long as GDPR rules (year 2018) oblige us to process any request on
 personnal data,

 Does the use of the function {{{ is_email() }}} - in {{{
 wp_create_user_request() }}} for instance - that will reject some valid
 emails (see RFC references above) - is making the whole "privacy"
 processes useless, and WordPress NOT 100% GDPR compliant ?

 May be a pluggable function called :

 {{{
 wp_privacy_is_email()
 }}}


 or a specific filter
 {{{
 if ( apply_filter( 'wp_privacy_is_email', is_email( $email ), $email ) )
 ...
 }}}
