    66Anyway, this ticket is about sending information about the site, WordPress (the software) and the hosting environment (the server) when checking for updates. As with everything else in WordPress, site owners can opt out of this service by using a plugin. I personally think this is a very bad idea as that will make their sites vulnerable to attacks. But people are free to make their own decisions.

    8 I'll repeat myself in saying that IMHO the focus here should be about informing and educating the site owners about what data is used when checking for updates, not forcing them to choose something when most of them cannot make an "informed decision".
