I accept their concerns, even if I don't think that the download of the
UTC deviation could cause any privacy concern.
There are people who want to have full control how their systems
communicate, and they have a valid reason for that. And Debian Policy
is to take them serious. So I will.
I just seek for a good way to make these people happy and have a good
user experience as well.
Being tired is not the way to go; solving issues is it. Being
constructive on your side would help much.
Best regards
