I propose we run a study. We will survey random editors
I always find it curious that we had dozens or hundreds of threads on having IPs in history: this worry is very elitist, at most few millions people ever edited.
What about the hundreds millions users who never edited? What are *their* IPs being logged for? It would be rather trivial to do as the IA does: http://blog.archive.org/2013/10/25/reader-privacy-at-the-internet-archive/
I'll start worrying about the millions when we have solved privacy issues for the billions.
