I fully agree.
However, this should not prevent interested Debian developers can still
log on gluck and look in
/org/popcon.debian.org/popcon-mail/popcon-entries/ and make theirs own
stats and maybe publish a summary as long as they keep privacy in mind.
But publishing the data daily through popcon.debian.org is a totally
different issue privacy-wise.
