My cents: I think this whole checkuser shit is totally re-tarded. It's a grave violation of privacy. I have accounts on Wikipedia only because I care about my anonymousity (otherwise I would edit as an "anon"). I do NOT wan't someone to connect my contributions to my identity. Especially not someone I don't know and who identifies itself with a random and totally meaningless userid!
No one with CheckUser privileges has a "random and totally meaningless userid." If you want to point to a specific individual, please don't be disingenuous about it.
Dumb dumb dumb. Stupid stupid stupid.
I agree completely.
