Furthermore there are reports of webbugs in some feeds syndicated on planet, or things that systematically leak browsing behaviour to third parties by including images directly from these sides.I don't know much about this one, so no positive or negative vote from me.
So that essentially means "no inline images on blogs". Because any <img> tag that appears in a feed on planet -- regardless of if it is a 1x1 transparent image or a 500x300 photo of something at Debconf -- will, let's face it, reveal certain data to the non-Debian server it's on.
To me, this is a point where we go, "life sucks, but at some point we take it and move on because images in feeds are nice to have."
